FORD PRO PRESENTS THE NEW FORD TRANSIT COURIER INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY, LOAD CAPACITY AND CONNECTIVITY
The new Ford Transit Courier is now delivering enhanced productivity and connectivity for customers, with the first examples of the lead-in Transit model now arriving with businesses across Europe.
To maximise productivity, Transit Courier has been completely redesigned around a larger and more flexible cargo area that delivers 25% more load volume than the outgoing model, offering space for two Euro pallets and increased payload.
Bold exterior design makes this new Ford Van a desirable, eye-catching billboard for operators’ businesses. Inside, the all-new load area and cabin design include customer-led features to boost productivity and comfort while at work.
A comprehensive array of driver assistance technologies has also made the first van to receive a platinum safety award from Euro NCAP, according to their most recent testing standards.
This new Van is fully integrated with Ford Pro’s platform of software and connected services to drive efficient operation, whether for owner-operators or large fleets — including uptime-boosting Ford Pro Software management tools and Ford Pro Service to reduce cost of ownership.
«We’ve responded to customer demand with the all-new Transit Courier, delivering the capability of a larger van while keeping the footprint compact, and adding connected support including Ford Pro Telematics and uptime-boosting FORDLiive to accelerate productivity», said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe.
«Ford Pro’s long-standing market leadership gives us unrivalled insight into customers’ needs and helps us squeeze even more productivity from our compact vans using innovative engineering and advanced connectivity».
Production of the new van with petrol and diesel powertrains is now underway at Ford Otosan’s Craiova plant, Romania, which is undergoing a €490 million reinvention. The range will be completed by the electric E-Transit model, with order books opening later this year.
