Where is the Ford Transit assembled?
The Transit is assembled at several plants worldwide to serve regional markets, notably in the United States for North America, Ford Otosan facilities in Turkey for Europe, and a JMC-Ford joint venture in China for the Chinese market.
Ford operates a global manufacturing footprint designed to localize production, shorten delivery times, and adapt to regional demand. The exact mix of assembly sites can change with new generations, supply conditions, and corporate strategy.
Regional assembly hubs
Below are the main geographic regions where final assembly occurs, with notes on production partners and market scope.
- North America — United States: Final assembly of the Transit for the North American market at the Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri.
- Europe — Turkey and related European sites: European-market Transit production is primarily handled by Ford Otosan at its facilities in Turkey, which supply several Transit variants for Europe.
- China — JMC-Ford joint venture: The Transit is produced for the Chinese market through Ford's partnership with Jiangling Motors Co. (JMC).
These regional hubs reflect Ford’s strategy to localize production and optimize supply chains. Some markets may also receive Transit variants produced in neighboring regions or imports depending on capacity and model year.
