Ford updates Transit van
18th January 2006

The upgraded Transit van range of which Ford has released details has new front front end styling, improved suspension which cuts NVH by 20%, new steering components, a re-designed interior, and a dash-mounted gear lever. Seven new Euro 4-compliant engines.

include six Duratorq TDCi diesels and one LPG-compatible petrol engine. The diesels, the first LCV units developed by the partnership between Ford and PSA Peugeot Citroen, include new 2.2-litre and 2.4-litre units matched to either five-speed or six-speed ?Durashift? manual transmissions.

The Transit updates anticipate the new ranges of heavy vans due from the DaimlerChrysler-VW joint venture arrangement later this year.
