Ford Pro Triumphs in Vincentric Best Fleet Value Awards

In the fast-paced world of commercial vehicles, reliability, efficiency, and value are paramount. In the 19th annual Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards, Ford Pro has once again emerged as the leader, securing an impressive eight awards – double the amount of any other brand. This achievement underscores Ford’s commitment to providing exceptional value to fleet customers while driving innovation in sustainability.

Tim Baughman, general manager of Ford Pro North America, expressed pride in Ford’s performance, stating, “Our customers depend on Ford commercial vehicles to get the job done while bringing added value to their fleet.” Baughman highlighted how this recognition by Vincentric reaffirms Ford’s dedication to building vehicles that deliver on performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, he emphasized the positive impact of transitioning to electric vehicles, noting its benefits for both business operations and the environment.

The year 2024 has been particularly noteworthy for Ford Pro, with several models receiving top honors in their respective segments. Among the standout performers are the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Supercrew 4WD, which clinched the Best Fleet Value in America award in the Full-Size 1/2-Ton Pickup segment for the ninth time. This achievement not only reflects the enduring popularity of the F-150 but also underscores its reputation as a dependable workhorse for fleet operations.

Similarly, the Ford Transit lineup continues to impress, with multiple models earning recognition for their exceptional value and versatility. The Ford E-Transit, America’s best-selling electric van, secured its third consecutive Best Fleet Value in America award in the Full-Size 1-Ton Cargo Van segment. This success highlights the growing demand for electric vehicles in commercial fleets and Ford’s leadership in this space.

One of the most striking trends observed in Ford Pro’s sales data is the high rate of customer loyalty. Forty percent of commercial customers are repeat buyers of the 24MY F-150 Lightning, signaling a strong satisfaction with the product and its performance. This loyalty speaks volumes about the reliability and trustworthiness of Ford’s vehicles, cementing their status as preferred choices for fleet operators across the country.

Beyond accolades and sales figures, Ford’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its production practices and vehicle durability. The Ford Transit, produced at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, has seen over 1.2 million units roll off the assembly line since April 2014. What’s more impressive is that 99% of all Ford Transits sold over the past decade are still operational today, showcasing their remarkable durability and longevity.

Vincentric’s evaluation criteria, which include factors like depreciation, financing, fuel costs, and maintenance, provide a comprehensive assessment of vehicle cost of ownership. By excelling in these areas, Ford Pro demonstrates its dedication to delivering value to customers over the long term, helping businesses optimize their fleet operations and maximize their return on investment.

As Ford Pro continues to lead the way in fleet value and sustainability, customers can expect even more innovation and excellence in the years to come. With a commitment to quality, performance, and environmental responsibility, Ford Pro is shaping the future of commercial transportation, one award-winning vehicle at a time.
