The Transit introduced in July 2000 was the third all new design, borrowing from Ford's New Edge styling, with the Puma Duratorq turbo diesel also used in the Mondeo. It won International Van of the Year for 2001, and a facelift in July 2006, the V347 front wheel drive and V348 rear wheel drive, won it for 2007. Production moved to Kocaeli in Turkey in 2002, and Southampton closed in 2013, ending British built Transits. Its model years run from 2000 to 2013.
