Europe is so congested there is no need for speed.
Honestly , delivery vehicles are not good candidates for connversion , always underpowered because they dont need to get anywhere ,the driver just putters along the route and goes home.(whats the average speed in London?)
In NA the same van will spend 1/2 its day on high speed freeways and never leave the city.
On the Motorways it is now 85mph, but they are SUPPOSED to do 60mph.Followed a Ducato Motorhome doing 70+ for several miles on a A Class Road. Not uncommon. I alsop saw people towing caravans with cars doing 70+ So it seems to be an aspect of British culture when the Cameras are not around put your foot down.

In Europe you will sit on roughly 60mph all day with a Van, NA is not unique in that respect.
