New Ford Transit With More Power And Increased Payload

A new, more powerful engine with diesel particulate filter (cDPF) and 108-litre fuel tank options together with an increased payload, are announced today. For customers needing extra power, Ford Transit will be available with a new five-cylinder in-line, common rail diesel engine. This 3.2-litre powerplant develops a maximum of 200PS, while torque peaks at 470Nm. It meets stage IV emissions and is offered as rear-wheel drive in combination with an upgraded six-speed transmission. As on all other Transit versions, ESP is standard.

Separately available is a coated diesel particulate filter (cDPF). For this, two different technologies are used: front-wheel drive models will be equipped with a standard diesel oxidization catalyst in conjunction with a regenerative DPF.

Transits with rear- wheel drive come with an in-exhaust fuel vaporization system that is used to regenerate the DPF – a Ford-first technology. In addition to this eco-friendly system, a shift indicator system is being introduced to assist in driver behaviour and further optimise fuel economy. Additionally, the new increased capacity fuel tank option provides 108-litres for customers requiring greater range.
