Who has the fastest work van
Who drives the fastest work van? Remember you sprinter boys aint as good as you used to as the other vans are just as fast.
I drive a ford Tourneo with a 2.0 TDCi engine that has about 125bhp (I think) it can do 100mph easy with 9men in it and loads of leaflets in it.

Fasts normal van I have been in was a top of the range TDI caddy, my boss had 125 on the needle, GPS said he was doing just above 115mph.

My tranny is 135ps 6 speed used to be the fastest transit available until a couple of years ago.Struggle for traction on wet roads and roundabouts does about 110mph flat out but for some reason wont rev out in 6th gear

The old 2.5 flat diesal transits were slow, but they are good work horses.

In Norway we have some strange rules, which means I can have a VW Touran as a van. Mines a 2.0 TDi 140bhp with DSG box, does 0-62 10.3 and topspeed around 120mph.
It obviously had to get some coilovers and 19"s fitted
