OREANDA-NEWS. June 03, 2015. Ford Motor Company Fund has donated five Ford Transit vans to the American Red Cross, building on more than 30 years of jointly supporting disaster relief. 

The new Ford Transit high-roof vans with 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engines were delivered to five locations in the U.S. – Detroit, Michigan; Lexington, Kentucky; Louisville, Kentucky; Cleveland, Ohio; and Portland, Oregon.

Each year, the Red Cross responds to approximately 70,000 disasters of all sizes, from single-family house fires to widespread weather damage from tornadoes and hurricanes. Ford Transit – America’s best-selling commercial van – joins the Red Cross fleet of emergency vehicles that are ready to respond at a moment’s notice.
