Enterprises in these sectors can take advantage of the vehicle’s optimized load space, dynamic exterior design, and enhanced comfort to provide their customers and people resources with mobility support.
Performance capabilities
The Transit is powered by Ford’s proven 2.2-liter Duratorq Diesel engine, capable of generating 135-PS of power and 385-Nm of torque. It is coupled with a six-speed Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) manual transmission, meeting performance demands while remaining fuel efficient.
Spacious interior
The Transit has generous size for a variety of uses, measuring 5,981mm long, 2,474mm wide, and 2,517mm tall. Inside, it incorporates a spacious interior that features a 15-seating capacity, 21 stowage bins, 12 cup holders and multiple power sockets. These characteristics allow the Transit to be easily maneuvered in or outside the city, while also having a high carrying capacity for passengers or cargo load.
Safety features
Like any Ford, it is also equipped with a selection of safe and convenient features. These include a rearview camera, extra wide doors, rear cargo doors with 180-degree opening capability, easy clean non-slip rubber flooring, a power side step, power folding side mirrors, hill launch assist, and load stabilization.
For safety, on the other hand, the Transit comes with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), 15 three-point seatbelts with head rests, as well as an escape hatch for emergency situations.
Purpose-built design
The Transit is unmistakably Ford thanks to distinctive traits in its exterior design, like the trademark three-bar grille, halogen reflector headlamps with daytime running lights, fog lamps, steel wheels with hub caps, black bumpers and side moldings, and a rear bumper with an integrated step.
Cost efficiency
As expected of any business vehicle, the Transit has been engineered for minimum maintenance and repair labor times, only requiring a once a year scheduled service interval, allowing for a better and more competitive owner experience.
On top of this, Ford will provide all customers purchasing the all-new Transit this year with a free five-year scheduled service maintenance plan to further boost growth and productivity of business customers.

The all-new Transit comes in three colors including Frozen White, Moondust Silver, and Magnetic Metallic.
