Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

of its new Transit models, completing a four-vehicle line up. The company hopes the model will cash in on the Transit name and boost sales by more than 50% by 2016.

Based on the company's B-segment platform, the new Transit Courier uses the same global chassis that has spawned the latest Fiesta and new B-Max passenger car models.

Measuring 4.16m in length, the Transit Courier will permit a maximum load volume of 2.3m3 and take a payload of up to 660kg. A full steel bulkhead will be standard, but an optional folding bulk head with collapsible passenger seat will allow the total load length to extend from 1.62m to 2.59m.

Power will come from Ford's Dagenham engine plant, with two diesel engines, a 1.5-litre 74hp and a 1.6-litre 93hp diesel, lining up alongside the 1-litre 99hp EcoBoost petrol engine.

Ford will offer the new Courier, scheduled to go on sale in spring 2014, with its voice-activated SYNC connectivity system as well as a standard cabin that includes a dock for charging mobile devices. It also has A4 document storage.

The recently launched Transit Custom, and the two-tonne Transit and Transit Connect — both of which made their UK debuts at the show — join the Transit Courier in the all-new four-model Transit van line up, which Ford expects will see as many as 400,000 units sold a year throughout Europe within three years.
