Fact 1 – Iconic Brand

It is famous for its durability and known as a man’s van and the latest new 2-tonne Transit has gone on sale. Ford Transit has a certain criteria, it has to stay as a durable rock of light commercial transport and has to maintain its strong identity. It also has to keep in mind its new rival, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Fact 2 – Awesome Interior and Top Safety Features
The interior is top notch and is more car-like than its predecessor with a very comfortable driving position. The windscreen is larger too which makes it really good to drive. The new year saw Ford celebrated production of seven millionth Transit since its launch in 1965. Ford claims that the new Transit will have best in class load carrying ability as well as cost of ownership. It also raises up the bar with additional safety features and driver technology. The pick of the bunch is ‘curve control’ or ‘CC’, which reduces the speed of a Transit safely and gradually.

The benchmark Transit power mill features the fuel-efficient 2.2-litre Duratorq diesel engine with a choice of three power outputs (100,125&155BHP) with a six-speed manual transmission. There is also a choice of Transit Econetic models with auto start-stop. The Transit Econetic models give class leading CO2 emissions from 169g/km.

It has to be the choice of every small and medium businesses owners short list.
