The UK’s northern consortium of 22 police forces ordered 680 Ford models, including 560 Transit Custom medium vans and 120 Kuga SUVs. Half of the Transit Customs will be supplied by Ford as cell vans, converted by its Special Vehicle Preparation (SVP) operation into a vehicle capable of securely transporting two detainees, accompanied by up to five police officers.
Transit Custom and Ford Kuga were also selected by the country’s southern consortium, which includes six fire services as well as 28 police forces. They also added 110 Ford Transit Connect light vans and 30 Ranger pick-ups to the 80 Kugas and 200 Transit Customs which made up their Ford order.
