Transit provide impressive load space in all three dimensions, load length, width (from wheel arch to wheel arch) and usable interior height. With 15.1 cubic metres of load space and 4256mm maximum load length you can fit cargo over 4 metres long. And with the 5-Tonne model offering a carrying capacity of up to 2.4tonnes, you’ll never be short of space or ability to transport almost anything. Wide side load doors, optimised opening height and a rear access step all ensure effortless access to your cargo tooTooltip.
Side-wall mounted tie-down points help keep the load floor clear and are both DIN and ISO compliant.
If your work requires a tow bar, you can specify one as a factory-fitted option. And if you need a tow bar after you’ve bought your vehicle, it’s easy to order one as an accessory and have it fitted professionally by your Ford Dealer, in both instances, the Trailer Sway Assist feature will be activated.
With the 5-Tonne Transit, if you need to tow a trailer the Transit Van has a 7-Tonne GTM (Gross Train Mass) capability (6100 GTM with automatic transmission) making it more than capable and tougher than ever.
The Transit is backed up by a reassuringly long, 12-year anti-perforation warranty.
Featuring a range of advanced 2.0-litre Ford EcoBlue diesel engines, the Transit is more powerful and more efficient than ever. With four powertrains available, offering up to 170PS, you’re guaranteed to find the one that meets your specific needs. The Transit is also available with an HDT (Heavy Duty Truck) engine for customers operating heavier vehicles or ideal for heavier conversion.
To help maximise efficiency, the Transit is now available as a Ecoblue Hybrid. A small battery-driven electric motor works with the conventional engine to help reduce fuel consumption when demand for power is low.
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 payloadTooltip.
Transit Trail is available with an advanced system that’s built to help you tackle challenging terrain with ease. The mechanical Limited-Slip Differential reduces unwanted wheel spin, especially on loose or uneven surfaces, by directing power to the wheel with the most traction. This helps to keep you moving forwards and improves vehicle stability when you need it most.
Active Park Assist in the Transit is able to effortlessly steer you into parking spots. Available in models with an automatic transmission, this smart technology makes parking easier than ever. After activation, you simply select a side of the road. When the system finds a suitable space, it will automatically steer you in, while all you do is operate the accelerator, gears and brake. The new rear-view camera has been mounted at the top of the Transit to give a better view of whatever’s behind you. A screen built into the centre console reveals objects you might miss, and the system displays virtual lines to help you park in the smallest of spaces. The camera activates automatically when you select reverse gear.
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 new 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.
The Transit is full of handy stowage spaces. For example, there’s easy access stowage in the instrument panel. A concealed, lockable glove-box is big enough to hold A4 hanging files, and there’s also convenient under-seat stowage for valuables. Even the vehicle’s doors are designed to maximise space with large pockets that can accommodate an A4 clipboard and a 2-litre drink bottle.
The Transit comes with a range of power outlets to help make sure all your devices are charged and ready to go when you are. There are multiple 12V power sockets and conveniently placed USB ports. You can even have a 240V socket fitted, supplying 150 Watts of power.
However cold it gets outside, you should always stay warm in your vehicle. Optional heated adjustable front seats ensure you can work in comfort even in the winter. With the FordPass Pro app, you can start your vehicle remotely to defrost and warm up the cab, so it’s ready to go when you areTooltip.
Ford Transit and Transit Custom have been named two of the top-performing vans for active safety, in the Euro NCAP test of Europe’s 19 best-selling vans.
In tests that represented daily real-world work, Transit and Transit Custom have now both earned the Gold award. Transit’s Traffic Sign Recognition recorded the only perfect score in the entire event, and Euro NCAP recognised Ford’s Pre-Collision Assist technology with Pedestrian Detection as a clear class-leading feature.
All of Transit’s safety features are designed and scrutinised to deliver this top-level service, helping to keep you, your cargo and other road users safe and your business on the road.
(Some driver assist technology features are available as options at additional cost)
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.
Driver Alert System constantly monitors your driving behaviour and is designed to detect any changes that could be caused by fatigue. If the system identifies you’re becoming less vigilant, a warning icon appears in the display, suggesting you take a break. If your driving alertness further declines, the message is repeated and combined with a chime.
In addition to the driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags provide thorax protection and are designed to direct the occupant away from the impact area. They’re also able to raise the arm of the occupant providing better space between them and the intruding structure. Curtain airbags provide maximum coverage and headrests offer protection from whiplash. There are also seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, seatbelt reminders for all seats, and a display that shows which occupied seats don’t have their seatbelts fastened.
We know your vehicle and its contents are the heart of your business. That’s why SecuriAlert, within the FordPass Pro app, puts your vehicle into a heightened state of security. If the doors are unlocked or opened, even with a duplicate key, it will send a notification to your smartphone.
Use the FordPass Pro app to unlock different zones, so you can jump in your cabin for lunch or let someone grab tools from the cargo area, while knowing the rest of your van is secure. And at a glance, check the app for a Live Lock Status to give you added peace of mind.
