Click Chart For Larger View

Fewer than four out of every 100 new commercial vans registered in America in October 2012 were Ram Cargo Vans. The weak-selling Nissan NV didn’t measure up to its own October 2011 performance, falling 18% year-over-year. Mercedes-Benz’s Sprinter owned 8.3% of the market.

That leaves the major players, Ford and General Motors. The Chevy Express and GMC Savana combined to grab just under one-third of the segment. That left Ford with 54.4% of all new commercial van segment. 25% of Ford’s total was Transit Connect-derived.
