| Ciaran McMahon of Ford Ireland accepts award for Transit Courier |
Key attributes of the vehicles such as load capacity, reliability, overall versatility, cost of ownership and drive comfort are all considered by the IMWA van jury during the judging process.
Presenting the awards to Ciaran McMahon of Ford Ireland, and James McCarthy, Nissan Ireland; Tom Dennigan of Continental Tyres Ireland (pictured on right) said "In the current resurgent commercial vehicle market which is seeing year on year growth of 50 percent, I am sure that these awards will provide a huge boost for both the Transit Courier and Qashqai Commercial."
Michael Moroney, Chairman of the IMWA van jury (pictured left) said "In assessing candidates for the Continental Irish Van of the Year category awards, our jurors pay close attention to how the vehicles meet the particular requirements of the Irish market - that is why these recommendations are so useful to Irish van / commercial drivers and fleet managers."
The Small Van of the Year and SUV Commercial of the Year titles are category awards under the umbrella of the Continental Irish Van of the Year. The overall Continental Irish Van of the Year award for 2015 was won by the Ford Transit.
The results for the Continental Irish Van of the Year Awards 2015 have been independently reviewed for the Irish Motoring Writers Association (IMWA) by Ernst and Young, Dublin.
