New Ford Transit

Overview

When it comes to vans, the Transit range gives you stacks of choice. There are short, medium and long wheelbase models, plus two Jumbo vans. Three roof heights, two powerful common rail turbo diesel engines, front-wheel-drive models and with the introduction of the dual-rear-wheel model*, your options grow even further. Front-wheel-drive gives you excellent fuel economy, a lower cargo floor for easier loading and unloading, and a lower total height allowing greater access to covered carparks. This complements the rear-wheel-drive range, which is ideal for heavier payloads or if you need superior towing capability. So no matter how big or small the job is, there's a van in the range that'll suit your needs right down to the ground. And Ford Transit's reputation for hard work has been recognised with a jury of independent commercial vehicle journalists voting Transit the 'International Van of the Year 2007.'

Features

The power to deliver

Running a business can be non-stop day in and day out. That's why you need a van that can keep pace with your demands. Transit's engines tick all the boxes when it comes to power and fuel economy. Take the 2.4 litre TDCi engine with an impressive 103kW of power and 375Nm of torque @2000rpm. This tireless diesel is available with a six speed manual transmission on rear-wheel-drive models. Then there's the 2.2 litre turbo diesel TDCi. Available on front-wheel-drives, it delivers excellent fuel economy while offering 81kW of power and a handy 285Nm of torque. Whichever way you go, you'll be able to hit the ground running.

Your mobile office

Spend the best part of your day on the road and not surprisingly, comfort becomes a priority. That's where Transit's car-like interior is making a strong case for better working conditions. Start with the 6-way adjustable driver's seat providing crucial lumbar support. Then add standard features like air-conditioning, CD player with auxiliary audio input for an iPod or MP3 player, remote audio controls mounted on the steering column, power front windows and power side mirrors plus optional cruise control with leather wrapped steering wheel,* and journeys are bound to be more relaxing. Overall, the cabin has a real feeling of spaciousness and is open to light. It's designed specifically to help you better manage your day with attention to detail like a tray on the dashboard that provides a useful workspace, a handy carpark pass holder and two 2-litre bottle holders. Combine all this with a more than ample number of storage compartments and it's easy to see why Transit provides the ultimate in functionality and comfort.

Safe and secure

In business, there's nothing more precious than you and your cargo. So when it comes to safety Transit delivers big time. The solid body structure offers end-to-end strength and surrounds you with a protective shell. Inside, a driver's airbag and the latest generation ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard across the range. Plus, for added protection the optional Professional Pack includes front passenger airbag, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Traction Control and Hill Launch Assist, cruise control with leather wrapped steering wheel and reverse parking sensors. DSC helps to avoid loss of control that could otherwise lead to an accident by sensing when the vehicle is deviating from the driver's chosen line and automatically applying the necessary power and braking adjustments to correct its road position.

Hill Launch Assist makes it easier for drivers to pull away on a slope, without the need to use the parking brake. The DSC system also includes Hydraulic Brake Assist and Load Adaptive Control for even greater safety and peace of mind. Driver and passenger are further protected by optional front side airbags that provide increased protection from side impacts in the event of an accident. In terms of vehicle and cargo security, Transit is equipped with an alarm, engine immobiliser and unique security coded keys standard on every vehicle. Transit also helps safeguard your cargo with features such as load area protection kit and power door deadlocks which make it impossible to open the doors from the inside should an intruder break into the vehicle. Add it all up and you can see why Transit is a safe bet for you and your business.
