The range of Duratorq TDCi diesel engines are available in three power and torque configurations aimed at boosting performance and efficiency. The common rail fuel-injection system improves horsepower and torque whilst increasing load capacity and towing capability. There is also a new 2.3 Duratec 145 PS petrol engine available for rear-wheel drive applications.
The car-like interior is spacious and sophisticated, designed to make life as easy as possible when on the road. A supportive, adjustable driving seat combined with a leather rimmed four-spoke steering wheel and a dash mounted gear lever, create the feeling of comfort and space. Marketed as a mobile office, the Transit offers ideal space options for A4 files, organisers and your mobile phone – the glove box even has hanging rails for A4 suspension files! Deep door pockets and an array of drinks holders all add to the luxurious feel. Additional options include air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, 6-disc CD stereo system and a built in sat nav system with CD player and MP3 capability.
There is a load to suit every eventuality, with the Transit ‘Jumbo’ offering the ultimate van-based carrier, accommodating five Europallets. Our short wheel based van was capable of loading standard 8’ x 4’ building boards either horizontally or on their sides, and the 1390mm width between the rear wheel arches is amongst the greatest in its class. The rear doors extend to 180 degrees, or 256 degrees on the jumbo models. There is 100mm lower load floor on front-drive models and a passenger’s sliding side load door with a driver’s side load door also available. Standard safety and security features include a driver’s airbag, anti-lock braking system, electronic Stability Programme (not available with petrol engine, DRW or AWD models), 3-point diagonal inertia reel seatbelts, anti-submarine seat design, audio enhanced “keycode” anti-theft locking, door mirrors – enhanced rear vision, immobiliser – Safeguard Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) and a remote control locking with key fob.
A classic choice for any business, variety is the essence with personal comfort high on the agenda. The load options are phenomenal with choices to suit and adapt to your day to day grind. Engines: 2.2 TDCi
