Welcome to the Truck & Van Blog from RoadTransport.com - the blog dedicated to discussion, news and views about trucks and vans.

Whether you're interested in discussing the finer points of a vehicle's ability in service, or you have an opinion on the looks of the newest product from a manufacturer, this is the place to come and share your views. Over the coming months we'll be giving sneak previews of some of the new launches which are just around the corner, briefing you on all the new vehicles direct from the press launch itself and also opening up the discussion to find out what you think of the new models.

There is nothing else like this on the world wide web at present, so please feel free to get involved and share you views.

If you want to join our growing army of bloggers, feel free to get in touch and we'll set you up to start blogging yourself.

The Ford Commercial Vehicle development team, based at the company's Dunton Technical Centre in the UK, is celebrating the Ford Transit's status as International Van of the Year 2007, by creating an unusual one-off special – the Transit XXL.

Transit XXL literally stretches the Transit Tourneo passenger vehicle to new lengths, and could well be the longest Ford Transit in the world!
