FORD went into Western Europe this week, with advance customer orders for the new Ford Cargo worth fl4m.
Cargo represents a £125m investment in Britain, £20m of which has been spent at Ford's Langley plant near Slough where Cargo is built for the UK and all European and world markets.
The plant is equipped with the latest in production techniques, including automatic robot welding of the cab and a 19-stage cathodic paint system.
More than 50 per cent of Cargo production is expected to be exported.
At home, the largest single Cargo fleet order to date, worth around Elm, was placed last week by Associated British Foods, which already operates a large number of Ford D-Series vehicles.
