Ford Galaxy Van – the Galaxy MPV registered as a commercial vehicle: four- and six-cylinder engines from 1,896 to 2,792 cm³, unladen weights from 1,650 to 1,967 kg
The Ford Galaxy is a large MPV that Ford developed jointly with Volkswagen and built at the Palmela plant (AutoEuropa) in Portugal alongside the VW Sharan and SEAT Alhambra. The examples listed as Van in the register are Galaxys registered with blanked rear side windows and the rear bench removed as a light N1 commercial vehicle, while remaining technically identical to the passenger version.

The register lists here 6 versions with up to 103 kW from four- and six-cylinder engines of 1,896 to 2,792 cm³, unladen weights from 1,650 to 1,967 kg, gross weights from 2,150 to 2,690 kg and widths from 1,780 to 1,990 mm.
The Galaxy was among Europe's best-selling large MPVs in the 1990s and 2000s; the versions registered as commercial vehicles served above all courier and delivery firms that benefited from the more favourable tax and insurance treatment of the N1 class without giving up the body's large load volume. In many Central European countries it became a popular choice for small delivery and transport businesses.
On a used example, rust on the sills and wheel arches, the condition of the turbocharger and dual-mass flywheel on the TDI engines, wear on the automatic gearbox and suspension from commercial use, and the proper conversion of seats and windows count; spare parts run through the Ford network.
