The Nissan NV200 commercial van continues to show strong growth of over 30% when compared to last year. The Ford Transit Connect is still dominant in the segment. It is selling more units per month and Year-To-Date than all of the competition combined.
The 2015 Ram ProMaster City and the Chevy City Express are both gaining momentum, but the Chevy has a small lead among the two. Will the City Express be able to overtake its platform mate – the NV200, or will the ProMaster City muscle into the second place? Most of these vans are new to the market, so it needs more time to shake out.
