VW and Ford have collaborated on a number of projects such as the <strong>VW Amarok and Ford Ranger <\/strong>back in 2022. Driven by the <strong>rapidly rising costs of technology<\/strong> in both product design and the building of modern state of the art factory plants, the investment needed to bring a new vehicle to the market is now so high that in order for the final consumer price to remain competitive, manufacturers often have little choice other than to join forces in order to ensure that they can build <strong>an<\/strong> <strong>affordable but yet profitable vehicle.<\/strong><\/p><p>With nearly 2 years now passed both the new VW T7 and the All New Ford Transit Custom are <strong>readily available
