Ford of Britain has released the first photos of the all-new Transit Courier van ahead of the model's global debut at the Birmingham CV Show. The smallest and cheapest Transit is show here in RHD configuration -and looks quite similar to the new Fiesta, with a large gaping grille and tweaked headlights.
Designed to take a standard Euro pallet with ease, the Transit Courier is still very small, at just 4.16 meters long. It will be available with highly-efficient diesel and petrol engines that target best-in-class fuel economy, and offer Auto-Start-Stop on all units. Customers can choose between the UK-built 1.5-liter 75PS and 1.6-liter 95PS Duratorq TDCi diesel engines, and the remarkable 1.0-liter 100PS EcoBoost petrol engine, the “International Engine of the Year” 2012 fitted to the Fiesta and Focus.
“Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers,” said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. “With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 per cent more than we sell today.”
