Non-Ram commercial van volume rose 28% in March 2016, as the segment-leading Ford Transit jumped 27%, as small twins from Chevrolet and Nissan (City Express and NV200) combined for 100 extra sales, as Mercedes-Benz contributed an additional 121 sales. 

Even Ford's mainly chassis cab model, the aged E-Series, more than doubled its March volume to rank third in the category.

But at Ram, the 93-unit loss produced by the discontinued Ram Cargo Van was worsened by a 94% drop in sales of its replacement, the ProMaster City, and a 61% decline in ProMaster sales.
