MANUFACTURER Bailey to launch Ford-based campervan
Bailey of Bristol has confirmed it is to launch a Ford Transit-based campervan later this year. The manufacturer has been developing the campervan for some time and has said it has now teamed up with Ford Pro to manufacture its very first campervan.
It is developing a new all-electric campervan, which is also based on a Ford Transit, although this project is still at the concept stage.
The collaboration will result in the creation of the Endeavour van conversion range, which will be publicly unveiled at the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC in October.
Bailey's successful partnership with Ford began in 2020 with the popular Adamo coachbuilt motorhome. Ford has since become the primary provider of base vehicles for Bailey, making it the natural choice for the new Endeavour campervan.
The two companies have a strong working relationship, and Bailey is now an official Ford Pro converter for coachbuilt motorhomes.
The Bailey Product Development Team recently presented a pre-production Endeavour to the Ford Pro Special Vehicle Team for evaluation at its UK headquarters in Dunton, Essex. During the meeting, Bailey also shared progress on a concept campervan based on the Ford E-Transit. This concept is part of Bailey's ongoing sustainability efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its leisure vehicles.
Nick Howard, Managing Director of Bailey, expressed his excitement about the upcoming van conversion,
