Ford has spent the last two years revamping their Transit van range and last week in Germany the final piece of the jigsaw was launched with the smallest van carrying the name, the Transit Courier.
It is very stylish and carries 10% more load volume than its direct competitors with 2.3 m3 behind the bulkhead up to 660kg payload, as well as longer load length at floor level, and greater access width through the sliding side doors.
Aimed at the urban delivery market and small businesses requiring a functional and compact van, the all-new Transit Courier will generate new sales for Ford in the fast-growing European small commercial vehicle segment. This adds to the momentum created by the larger products from the completely redesigned and expanded Ford Transit range.
Following the introduction of the all-new Transit, Transit Custom and Transit Connect models starting in late 2012, Ford’s share of commercial vehicle sales has grown to 10.4% across Europe in the first three months of 2014 – the company’s highest for the period in 16 years. Year- to-date, Ford has sold about 50,000 commercial vehicles, an increase of 10 per cent over the same period last year.
For the Irish market, Ford chiefs say that the Transit Courier will be available in the following series:
- Transit Courier Base 1.5 litre Duratorq diesel 75PS available from €13.990,
- Transit Courier Trend 1.5 Duratorq diesel 75PS available from €14.990,
