AWD Transit among host of new van updates from Ford
By Jutian Mitnes FORD HAS announced a host of updates to its Transit van, including the UK launch of the long-awaited allwheel-drive (AWD) version.
This is joined by a new 114hp 2.2 TDCi engine complete with six-speed manual, which replaces the 2.2 TDCi 109hp five speeder used on the FWD model.
In 2009. a double-cab FWD MWB low-roof version will launch, offering 14% more load space than the current SWB, and comes with three power ratings from its 2.2TDOi 84, 114 and 138hp.
Furthermore, all powertrains will have a diesel particulate filter fitted, which is claimed to reduce particulates by up to 95%, while a shift indicator light mounted in the instrument cluster that informs the driver when best to change to a higher gear for improved fuel economy, reduced CO, emissions and engine wear will also be fitted.
Set to join the range in the middle of next year is the LWB chassis cab in both 350 and 460 configurations.
Available in both single and double-cab, the latter can also be specced with a blank rear window and removed seat to provide a secure load area.
The AWD version is powered by a 2.4-litre 138hp TDCi engine with six-speed manual gearbox and is available in short, medium or long wheel-base.
Normally operating in RWD, the fully mechanical system transfers power to the front wheels via an internal clutch arrangement when rear wheel slippage is detected.
