Best-in-Class Fuel Efficiency by the all-new Ford Transit Connect
The all-new Ford Transit Connect which will be launched later this year, will feature best-in-class fuel efficiency with the Transit Connect ECOnetic model. It will deliver a 34% improvement compared to the current model . The all-new Transit Connect delivers a higher 4.9% residual value on the equivalent outgoing model. It will be powered by Ford Dagenham's 1.6 liter 96PS Duratorg TDCi diesel. The Transit Connect ECOnetic is capable of 70.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 105g/km, enabling dramatic reductions in operating costs. It will also be the first Ford van to offer customers the highly fuel efficient 1.0 litre EcoBoost petrol engine which was a two-time winner of the International Engine of the Year Award, delivering class-leading fuel economy.
“Van operators are always looking to economize, and the all-new Transit Connect takes a huge step forward in cutting fuel costs,” said Stephen Lesh, Transit Connect chief program engineer, Ford of Europe. “With class-leading performance from both diesel and petrol powertrains, we’re confident that the all-new Transit Connect van will be welcomed by small businesses and larger fleets alike.”
The Transit Connect ECOnetic has been carefully optimized to achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, featuring a comprehensive range of Ford’s latest ultra-low CO2 technologies, including Auto-Start-Stop, Active Grille Shutter and Smart Regenerative Charging.
The stylish all-new Transit Connect has been engineered to set new standards for load-carrying ability, cost of ownership and dependability within its class.
Available in short-wheelbase and long-wheelbase versions, Transit Connect offers a spacious and practical load area with total volumes of 2.9m3 and 3.6m3 (SAE – with full bulkhead fitted) and a maximum payload of up to 1,000kg.
