The advanced Ford EcoBlue 2.0-litre engines are durable and reliable, with longer service intervals of up to 25,000 miles [40,000 km], or two years, whichever occurs first. Along with this, components subject to normal wear and tear have also been designed to last longer without maintenance. It all helps ensure your Transit Chassis Cab won’t let you down.
The Transit Chassis Cab is available as an EcoBlue Hybrid. This technology helps to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions, with a small battery-powered electric motor providing extra support to the diesel engine when needed. Kinetic energy and regenerative braking recharges the 48-volt hybrid battery while you drive.
Featuring a range of advanced 2.0-litre Ford EcoBlue diesel engines, the Transit Chassis Cab is more powerful and more efficient than ever.

The innovative Ford EcoGuide system continually assesses the effects of your driving behaviour on your fuel consumption. The system analyses your speed, gear shifting, braking and anticipation levels, plus the number of short and long journeys you make. EcoGuide then feeds this information back to you via a display on the dashboard. The aim is to encourage you to drive more efficiently, reduce fuel consumption and save you money over the life of the vehicle.
When you stop at traffic lights or your vehicle is idling in a queue, this technology can automatically switch off the engine. When you're ready to move, just depress the clutch and select first gear as usual, or release the brake on an automatic, and the system restarts. Auto Start-Stop is particularly effective in town and city streets, where it can cut fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Icy winter roads, muddy access tracks – wherever your business takes you, All-Wheel Drive (AWD) gives you the confidence to go there. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is a torque on demand system delivering surefooted progress over challenging surfaces. At the touch of a button or in response to driving conditions, AWD keeps you and your cargo squarely on the road. And for a weight gain of just -60kg, you get added versatility without sacrificing payload.
SYNC 3 is our most advanced version to date. It’s faster and easier to use, with enhanced voice commands and even more functionality. The interface has larger buttons for improved usability, and the colour Touchscreen now features pinch-and-swipe gestures found on smartphones and tablets for even more intuitive navigation. SYNC 3 also features AppLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to display your smartphone’s information on the touchscreen.
A wide range of advanced in-car entertainment and information options includes DAB radio, USB port, premium speakers, navigation and Ford SYNC with voice control.
The driving seat is fully adjustable, along with the steering wheel (both for rake and reach), so you can find your ideal driving position. There’s a built-in armrest too, while adjustable lumbar support, heated seats and a power adjustable driver’s seat are options. In fact, while providing commercial vehicle standards of durability, the seats are designed to be as comfortable as those you’d find in a car.
Every cabin feels better when it’s neat and tidy. So the Transit Chassis Cab offers plenty of stowage spaces, including three open-topped bins on top of the dashboard, a dock for your mobile or tablet, twin bottle-holders and a lidded glovebox which can store A4 files, your tablet, or a small laptop.
The Double Chassis Cab offers even more. The passenger seats have lift-up base cushions and under-seat compartments, for carrying tools and equipment out of sight. While the front centre seat has a fold-down back that converts into a handy work surface.
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses RADAR and camera technology to scan the road ahead. If a collision risk with a vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist is detected, it’ll then provide you with a warning. If you don’t respond in time, the system can automatically apply up to full braking force to help reduce the severity of, or even eliminate, some frontal collisions. Emergency Brake Assist helps your vehicle achieve maximum braking effectiveness in an emergency situation. The system senses how much pressure you’ve applied to the brake yourself and automatically increases it, if necessary.
Trailer Sway Control detects ‘snaking’ or trailer sway and reduces your vehicle’s speed to help solve the problem, making towing more controlled. The system slows the vehicle down by reducing the engine’s torque and gradually increasing the brake pressure on all wheels.
A Thatcham Category 1 alarm is a sophisticated system that automatically arms itself when you double-lock the vehicle and will sound a powerful alarm if triggered by forced entry, the vehicle being lifted, or if the motion sensors pick up any movement inside. The technology is also designed to help prevent unwanted towing of the vehicle. All door locks on the Transit Chassis Cab are protected by anti-tamper shielding designed to prevent them being broken by force. And with remote control central door locking now more secure than ever, you choose which individual doors to lock and unlock.
For added peace of mind, the FordPass Pro app delivers an extra level of security on top of your Transit Chassis Cab’s regular alarm system. With SecuriAlert activated, you’ll receive a notification if FordPass Pro detects someone trying to gain access to your vehicle – even with a stolen or mimicked key.
