Compared with the first-half of 2015, full-size vans have increased their share of the commercial van market from 77% to 79%. 46% of the full-size vans sold are Fords, including 5095 copies of the class-leading Ford Transit.

Ford is also the leader in the small commercial van category. The Transit Connect is down 6% in 2016 – there are more rivals available now than there were a year ago.

One such rival is the larger Mercedes-Benz Metris, which arrived late last year. 635 copies of the Metris were sold in the fist six months of 2016. 

That places the Benz behind every small van aside from the Chevrolet City Express, itself a twin of the Nissan NV200.

Commercial van sales jumped 17% in the first-half of 2016 as growth in the established full-size cargo van sector exceeded the rate of growth in the burgeoning small commercial van sector.

Ford is the leader in both categories. The Transit, America's top-selling van overall and consequently the top-selling commercial van and therefore America's favourite full-size commercial van, generated 42% of all U.S. full-size commercial van sales.

General Motors is the next-largest player. GM's trio of vans account for slightly more than one-fifth of all commercial van sales in America.
