context_page_description: The Ford E-Series is a range of full-size vans produced by the American automaker Ford. Introduced for the 1961 model year as the replacement for the Ford F-series panel van, the model line is in its fourth generation. Previously produced as a cargo van and passenger van, the E-Series is currently offered as a cutaway van chassis and stripped chassis.
  After the 2014 model year, the E-Series cargo and passenger vans were discontinued and replaced by the Ford Transit. From 1980 to 2014, the model line was the best-selling full-size van in the United States with a nearly 80% share of its market segment. With a 60-year production run, the E-Series is second only to the Ford F-Series in longevity of models produced by Ford.
  From 1961 to 2005, the E-Series was assembled by Lorain Assembly at Lorain, Ohio; assembly is currently located at Ohio Assembly at Avon Lake, Ohio, which has produced the model line since 1975.
context_section_description: For the 2015 model year, the E-Series passenger and cargo vans were discontinued, replaced by the fourth-generation Ford Transit. While the E-Series had remained the best-selling vehicle in the full-size van segment since 1980, the model line had seen little change since 1992 on a chassis introduced for the 1975 model year.  At the time of its 2008 update, 95% of sales were to commercial or fleet users, with nearly half of production represented by cargo vans.            
  Sold outside of North America since 1965, the Transit was introduced to offer additional body configurations and cargo capacity, and increased fuel economy.  Assembled in the United States, two generations of the Transit had been co-developed by Ford in North America.            
  From 2015 onward, the E-Series has remained in production for commercial sale as an incomplete vehicle, produced only in a cutaway-cab and stripped-chassis configuration.  The exterior remained unchanged from the 2008 redesign, along with the dashboard.            
  Alongside the E-Series, the Transit 350/350HD is produced as a cutaway/chassis cab; in 2019, Ford reduced the E-Series model line to the E-Series cutaway-cab and stripped chassis.
