Ford Motor Co. started production today of the Transit commercial van at its Claycomo plant. The company has a lot riding on the van, new to North America, because it will replace its E-series vans, which have been the best-selling commercial van in the United States. Ford said the Transit is a big advancement over the E-series, formerly Econoline, and is expected to pull in new customers. The Claycomo plant is beginning with one shift building 300 Transits per day and will add a second shift later this year. (April 30, 2014 Video by Monty Davis | The Kansas City Star)
