Ford Transit
Intended as a replacement for the very long-lasted Ford E-Series/Econoline, the Transit itself is actually a very old name - outside of North America, it has been around since 1965. Ford previously separated its van offerings between North America and the rest of the planet, but with the introduction of the Transit to the North American market in 2013 this practice was officially ended - Ford now sells the Transit worldwide, and this fourth generation was actually specifically engineered with the North American market in mind.
The venerable E-Series actually still persists alongside the new Transit in North America, but only as a cutaway/chassis offering.
