Evans Halshaw Opens Ford Transit Centre in Darlington

Evans Halshaw has officially opened a brand-new Ford Transit Centre in Darlington, strengthening support for local businesses that rely on Ford commercial vehicles.

The new Transit Centre, located on Croft Road, operates from a dedicated, purpose-built facility next to the established Evans Halshaw Ford car dealership. The site, which opened earlier this month, has created six new sales roles and additional commercial technician positions, all filled by skilled local talent.

Colleagues have been trained through the Evans Halshaw Training Academy and the Henry Ford Academy, to ensure they meet the high level of expertise and service required by Ford and expected by customers.

Motorists can test drive a full range of Ford commercial vehicles including the Transit Courier, Transit Connect, Transit Custom BEV, Transit Custom PHEV, eTransit, and Ford Ranger. All demonstrators are available for extended test drives, so customers can fully experience the latest innovations in productivity and performance. Built to support modern commercial operators, the new Darlington Transit Centre includes eight commercial ramps, Class 4 and 7 MOT testing, and 12 EV chargers.

Scott Burns, Commercial Vehicle Director, at Evans Halshaw Ford, said: “The opening of our new Transit Centre in Darlington demonstrates our continued investment in supporting local businesses and tradespeople and adds to our nationwide portfolio of Transit Centres in Evans Halshaw.

“With our expert team, cutting-edge facilities, and commitment to the Ford Pro philosophy, we’re ready to keep customers and their businesses moving.”

Evans Halshaw offers corporate fleet terms, flexible funding through Ford Credit and other lenders, plus access to thousands of used vans across its UK Transit Centres.
