What Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Means for Your Next Transit Vehicle Purchase
Did you know that commercial van sales are projected to grow by 4.5% annually over the next five years, driven by delivery services, trades, and business fleets? If you’re considering buying a transit vehicle, there's never been a more important time to understand how policy changes could affect your investment. With the recent signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” by President Trump, tax laws and depreciation rules are shifting, potentially creating significant opportunities and challenges for buyers of Ford transit vehicles.
In this post, we’ll break down how the new legislation affects transit depreciation, what you need to know if you’re shopping for a Ford Transit 250 van, E-Transit-350 Cargo, or looking at transit vans under $5,000, and how City World Ford can help you take advantage of current Ford Transit incentives.
Understanding the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”
The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is a sweeping piece of tax legislation that includes key revisions to vehicle depreciation laws, especially for commercial-use vehicles like transit vans. While full details are still rolling out, one major highlight is the increase in bonus depreciation for qualified business vehicles. According to the IRS, under prior laws, businesses could deduct 80% of the cost of eligible new or used vehicles in the first year. The new bill bumps that up to 100% depreciation for the first year, allowing for significant upfront tax write-offs for vehicles used in business.
This change is particularly relevant for commercial buyers interested in models like the 2024 Ford E-Transit-350 Cargo or the Ford Transit 250 Van. These vehicles now offer both operational value and enhanced tax savings under the new law.
What This Means for Transit Van Buyers
Big Benefits for Business Owners
Whether you're running a contracting business, managing deliveries, or starting a mobile service, the enhanced depreciation rules mean you can write off more of your vehicle purchase upfront. This is especially helpful when buying a higher-priced Ford E-Transit, which combines electric efficiency with work-ready cargo space.
Lower Barriers to Entry
Thanks to expanded tax incentives and the availability of transit vans for sale, the market is more accessible than ever. Buyers on a budget may now find it easier to afford commercial-use vehicles while still benefiting from the new tax perks, especially when shopping at City World Ford, where our big inventory of transit vehicles includes both new and used options.
Ideal Timing for Fleet Expansion
With gas prices fluctuating and e-commerce still booming, many businesses are expanding their fleets. The Ford Transit vehicle lineup, including electric and gasoline models, is perfectly positioned to meet those demands. The timing of this new legislation makes it a prime opportunity to invest in a van that will work hard and help reduce your taxable income.
