THE VAN PRIX • This is the most important test you’ll read this month. Why? Because it’s about vans. The workhorses of the UK stable, the nervous system of order fulfilment, the dieselly enabler of your online shopping habit. You, or someone you know, owns a van. In urban areas they’re like rats – you’re never more than 49 metres from one. And the numbers are growing. As of 2024, there were approximately 4.6 million licensed vans in Great Britain, one for every 15 people in the country, and the Ford Transit alone has over 960,000 vehicles licensed and gambolling about our road network. So yes, vans. The most important vehicles you never notice…
