The new Ford Transit has been given major tech and chassis upgrades, with automated delivery software, over-the-air updates and a stronger drivetrain
Activated when the driver shifts into park and stops the engine, the system will switch on the hazard warning lights and alarm and lock any doors the driver doesn't want to use.
When the driver climbs back in and presses the brake pedal, the engine restarts and the hazard lights are deactivated. Ford claims this shaves up to 20 seconds from each delivery. The new Transit also receives Ford's latest Sync 4 infotainment system with a 12.0in central touchscreen and 8.0in instrument cluster as standard, as well as 5G connectivity and over-the-air updates.
This system can also be integrated with aftermarket systems installed for specific jobs – for example, tracking the temperature in refrigerated vans working for food or drink companies. Front-wheel-drive vans can now be specified with Ford's eight-speed automatic gearbox, which allows it to carry an extra 700kg in cargo and tow an additional 1750kg. If the option is specified, front-wheel-drive vans can also now carry a maximum of two tonnes on the front axle - an attribute designed to benefit horseboxes or low loaders.
