EFFORTLESS ACCESS

An extra wide side door ensures passengers and their luggage will always be able to get into the Minibus with ease. To make access even more convenient, the door can be opened and closed with the push of a button.

LONG ANTI-PERFORATION WARRANTY

As a measure of its build quality, the Transit Minibus comes with a 12-year anti-perforation  warranty as standard. This covers your vehicle’s original bodywork from perforation damage caused by rust corrosion.

Still, like every vehicle, it needs regular servicing. Our commercial vehicle service promise, Ford Service Pro, is designed to minimise downtime, inconvenience and expense. It’s available through our nationwide network of Transit Centres and Transit Service dealers. Find out more about Ford Service Pro.

HELPING YOU DRIVE MORE EFFICIENTLY

The innovative Ford EcoGuide system continually assesses the effects of your driving behaviour on your fuel consumption. The system analyses your speed, gear shifting, braking and anticipation levels, plus the number of short and long journeys you make. EcoGuide then feeds this information back to you via a display on the dashboard. The aim is to encourage you to drive more efficiently, reduce fuel consumption and save you money over the life of the vehicle.

USE LESS FUEL WITH AUTO START-STOP

When you stop at traffic lights or your vehicle is idling in a queue, this technology can automatically switch off the engine. When you're ready to move, just depress the clutch and select first gear as usual, or release the brake on an automatic, and the system restarts. Auto Start-Stop is particularly effective in town and city streets, where it can cut fuel consumption by up to 10%.

A SOPHISTICATED 10-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

With an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission, the Transit Minibus delivers rewarding acceleration as well as outstanding fuel efficiency. It uses real-time adaptive shift-scheduling too, which enables the transmission to effortlessly adapt to changing conditions. So, whether you’re cruising on the motorway or tackling difficult terrain, you’ll always be in the right gear at the right time.

A 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION SAVES ON FUEL

The Transit Minibus is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, making it more economical and efficient. Once you reach a high enough speed, just slip your van into 6th gear and save on fuel while you’re cruising along. You’ll find the gear changes are smooth and quick too.

TYRES THAT CAN IMPROVE EFFICIENCY

Low rolling resistance tyres on the Transit Minibus are designed to reduce the energy required to make the tyres roll. This means less power is required to move, and fuel consumption is reduced over the life of the vehicle.

AdBlue additive close up

AN ADDITIVE THAT REMOVES POLLUTION

A selective catalytic reduction system uses AdBlue, a urea/water-based fluid, to convert NOx emissions in the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then reduces more than 99% of emitted solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust. To operate correctly, the AdBlue tank of your Ford EcoBlue diesel engine must be filled with AdBlue fluid. System warnings illuminate when fluid level becomes too low.

A MORE INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL

Set your own pace with Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control. The system can identify the prevailing speed limit and automatically maintain your selected speed within the limit detected. Advanced radar technology scans for slower traffic in front of you, and can automatically adjust your speed to maintain a pre-set gap from the vehicle ahead. When the traffic has cleared, your vehicle will resume its pre-selected speed. (Option, requires SYNC 3 with Navigation)

SEES WHAT’S COMING FROM EITHER SIDE

A tiny panoramic camera on the front of the vehicle relays a split-screen image to your Transit’s multi-function display so you can see vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians coming from either side. This front wide-view camera is invaluable if you’re edging out of a narrow parking space, or in a busy road where your view is obstructed. (Option)

EASIER, SAFER REVERSING

Bollards, bicycles, low walls… The rear-view camera shows what’s behind you on a screen built into the centre console. As well as revealing objects you might miss, the system displays virtual lines to help you park into tight spaces. The camera activates automatically when you select reverse gear. (Option)

STRESS-FREE PARKING

Active Park Assist in the Transit Minibus makes parking easier than ever. The system identifies a parking space that’s the right size and automatically steers you in or out, while you control the pedals and gears. This works for both perpendicular and parallel parking spots.

Front, rear and side parking distance sensors help you judge the distance between your vehicle and the obstacles around you. When the sensors detect an object, they activate a visual and audible warning that intensifies the closer you get to it. (Option)

TECHNOLOGY THAT SEES WHAT YOU CAN’T

The Blind Spot Information System uses RADAR sensors to see vehicles that may be hidden in your blind spot. When a vehicle enters your blind spot, the system alerts you with an orange light, clearly displayed in the side door mirror. Cross Traffic Alert works with Blind Spot Information System and alerts you to oncoming vehicles when you’re reversing out of a space and have limited visibility. (Option)

SPOTS THE VEHICLES YOU MIGHT MISS

Cross Traffic Alert is part of the Blind Spot Information System. When you’re reversing out of a space and have limited visibility of the traffic situation, Cross Traffic Alert can detect oncoming vehicles and sound a warning. The technology illuminates a light in the wing mirror too (left or right depending on the direction of oncoming traffic), as well as displaying a warning on the multi-functional display. (Option)

ADAPT TO THE CONDITIONS

Selectable Drive Modes allows you to tailor your Transit Minibus’s performance by choosing from two available drive modes: Normal and for maximum efficiency, EcoMode. The system adjusts various settings to optimise performance for the conditions. These include throttle response and steering feel, as well as gear-change behaviour on vehicles with automatic transmission.
