These new variants will debut at the 2014 IAA Commercial Vehicles Show this month, and complete the renewal of Ford’s entire commercial vehicle range in the last 24 months.

The two-tonne Transit is the flagship of a range that also includes the one-tonne Transit Custom, the smaller Transit Connect van offering payloads between 600-1000kg, and the compact Transit Courier van for small businesses and urban deliveries.

The first phase of all-new Transit production began in spring this year and included the standard Van, Chassis Cab and Minibus versions. The line-up offers customers improved fuel efficiency with the extended choice of Transit ECOnetic models, and delivers significantly reduced maintenance and repair costs, improved durability and increased cargo volumes and smart loadspace features. A second wave of additional variants includes new body styles, chassis lengths and the All-Wheel Drive (AWD) range.

The full range of Transit Chassis Cab models now includes a Double Cab, offering space for up to seven people with the standard four-person second row seating, as well as the extra-long extended L5 versions, which are the longest production Transits ever built. With a single cab, the L5 models offer a load length of more than 5.2m and 11.5m2 of cargo area when fitted with a factory dropside body.

The complete Transit Chassis Cab line-up offers five different lengths for the single cab (L1-L5) and four for the double cab (L2-L5), with Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) ranging from 3.1 to 4.7 tonnes. In addition to the factory-fit dropside body options, they provide the ideal platform for box bodies and tippers, or other tailored solutions from refrigerated bodies or mobile workshops, to emergency services vehicles or campers.

'With a choice of more than 450 versions, multiplied by all of the different options, the all-new Transit is ready to tackle just about any task,’ commented David Gregory, Transit chief program engineer, Ford of Europe. ‘Couple this versatility with best-in-class cost of ownership, and you can see why the all-new Transit is being so well received by European customers.’
