Ford's fuel-efficient 'green' Transit, which is badged ECOnetic, complete with energy-saving modifications.
We like
The ECOnetic Transit offers a simple yet effective approach to saving precious fuel that doesn't demand a change in usage or ownership.
In a nutshell, Transit remains one of the best drives on the market.
We're not sure
Only available in 280 SWB guise, so it is sizeand weight-restrictive for larger demands. There's also the issue of residuals due to the new technology.
We think
Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have already displayed similarly modified vehicles, so don't be surprised to see further examples in the UK in the next year. Ford has grabbed the economy reins and should be commended for doing so.
