Might be something to do with government proposals to increase the tax on older (Euro 5) vans.
Also the introduction of Ultra Low Emission Zones will mean a daily charge to enter (bit like the Congestion Charge) if not Euro 6 compliant. As I understand it, all new Mk 8 Transits are fitted with Euro 6 engines.
Maybe the Fleet Manager has done his sums and reckons it will be cheaper to replace his fleet now?
