Across hundreds of businesses and industries, you’ll find the Ford Transit hard at work carrying people and cargo. With three roof height and three body length options, the Ford Transit can be configured and adapted to meet the needs of any business. Nowhere is this more true than in the non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) sector.  As a certified member of Ford’s Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) program, Sunset Vans is proud to offer custom wheelchair, gurney/stretcher, passenger, and fleet conversions.

The Ford Transit also comes with a host of modern safety technologies; standard driver-assist features include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Post-Collision Braking, Lane-Keeping System and auto high-beam headlamps.
