FORD USED THE IAA Show to give its new Transit range its first public airing, by exhibiting the new Transit Connect (below) and 2-tonne Transit van (right) alongside the recently launched Transit Custom, which also scooped the 2013 International Van of the Year award.
Based on the C-segment platform used in the Ford Focus passenger car, the Transit Connect will arrive in Europe next year with a choice of three 1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi engines, and the new 1-litre, 3-cylinder Ecoboost petrol engine. Connect will be available in
shortand long-wheelbase options, offering a maximum load volume of up to 3.6m3.
Transit Connect will again be available as a combi van, and will now transport up to six people thanks to the dual front passenger seat. The new Transits are due to go on sale halfway through 2013.
