The Ford Cargo is a forward control (cab-over-engine) truck model manufactured by Ford since 1981. Designed by Ford of Britain as the successor of the larger Ford Transcontinental, the Cargo entered the North American market as the intended successor of the long-running Ford C-Series.
Following the 1986 sale of the commercial vehicle division of Ford of Europe to Iveco, the Ford Cargo was sold in Europe as an Iveco Ford to 1991, when it was updated, becoming the Iveco Eurocargo. Following the sale of the Ford heavy-truck lines in 1997, the Cargo continued under the Freightliner and Sterling brands through 2007.
Originally produced by Ford UK at its Langley facility from 1981 to 1993, the Cargo was also produced by Ford Brasil (the source of US-market production from 1986 to 1990) from 1981 to 2019, with current production sourced from Ford Otosan in Turkey.

European Ford Cargo[]
With the demise of the Ford Transcontinental heavy truck range, British Ford introduced a range of heavyweight Cargo tractor units (after-Ford Model TT (1917-1925), Ford Model TT (1925-1927), Ford Model AA (1927-1929), Ford Model AA (1930-1931), Fordson Model BB (1932), Fordson Model BB (1933-1934), Ford Model V8-51, Ford 77-81 "Barrel Nose Truck", Ford V3000S, Ford Rhein/Ruhr, Ford FK (1951-1955), Ford FK (1955-1961), and Ford Transcontinental) ranging from 28- to 38-tonnes gcw. The 38-tonners were powered by the Cummins L10 while those at 28- and 32-tonnes had Perkins, Cummins, or air-cooled Deutz diesels.
In 1986, Ford sold its European truck operations to the Italian Iveco group and subsequent vehicles have been badged Iveco Ford. After the recession in the 1990s, Iveco rationalised its production operations,overlooked by Keith Stanley Jones, Production Engineering Manager and its Langley, Slough, plant closed in October 1997, bringing UK Iveco/Ford truck production to an end.
The original lightweight Cargo (after-Ford Model TT (1917-1925), Ford Model TT (1925-1927), Ford Model AA (1927-1929), Ford Model AA (1930-1931), Ford Model BB (1932), Ford Model BB (1933-1934), Fordson BBE, Fordson Thames 7V, Fordson Thames ET6/ET7, Thames Trader FC Mk1, Thames Trader FC Mk2, Ford D-series (1965-1978), and Ford D-series (1978-1981)) was replaced in 1993 by the Iveco Eurocargo range, covering the 7.5-ton to 18-ton GVW range.
American Ford Cargo[]
The Ford Cargo is a cab over engine truck model formerly manufactured in USA by Ford (after-Ford Model TT (1917-1925), Ford Model TT (1925-1927), Ford Model AA (1927-1929), Ford Model AA (1930-1931), Ford Model BB (1932), Ford Model BB (1933-1934), Ford COE (1935-1936), Ford COE (1937), Ford COE (1938-1939), Ford COE (1940-1941), Ford COE (1941-1947), Ford F-Series COE (1948—1952), Ford F Series COE (1953-1956), Ford C-Series (1957), Ford C-Series (1958-1963), and Ford C-Series (1963-1990)), but now made by Freightliner Trucks and sold as the Sterling Cargo or the Freightliner Cargo. It is commonly seen in US Postal Service duty, and as a city tractor for freight companies such as Roadway Express. (Ford sold its US-commercial truck operations to Sterling Trucks, which was then purchased by Freightliner Trucks)
This model has its roots in the European Ford Cargo (1981- ? )
Ford now sells the Ford LCF as a smaller cab-over alternative in the US to be more competitive with similar trucks, such as the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter and Isuzu Elf (N Series).
