New 2012 Ford Transit powertrain technology
Ford takes another big step towards a more cost efficient and sustainable future for freight logistics, with its new 2012 Ford Transit. New powertrains and additional green technologies will offer both significantly lowered cost of ownership and environmental benefits.
A new generation of 2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi engines and comprehensive range of new ECOnetic technologies ensure that the iconic Ford Transit remains a top choice for commercial vehicle operators. With its low cost of ownership and improved environmental performance the new Transit further enhances its legendary durability and versatility.
The design of the new engine includes higher pressure common-rail direct injection, new variable nozzle turbochargers and an improved exhaust gas treatment, via a new Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and coated Diesel Particulate Filter (cDPF) unit, to help meet the stricter Euro Stage 5 emission levels.
Front-wheel drive versions will be available with 100, 125 and 140PS. For rear-wheel drive derivatives the most powerful engine choice unit will deliver 155PS. Perhaps even more important are the increases achieved in torque, delivering superior pulling power: even the 100PS entry level engine delivers a maximum torque of 310Nm, while the 155PS rear-wheel drive version delivers an impressive 385Nm of maximum torque.
The range of available Ford ECOnetic technologies has also been expanded to ensure the best possible efficiency can be achieved. These technologies include: Smart Regenerative Charging, Advanced Battery Management System (BMS) and the Optional ECO Pack, including switchable Auto-Start-Stop and Speed Limiter function, available for most powertrain combinations.
The new 2012 Ford Transit delivers exceptionally low fuel consumption and emissions via two new front-wheel-drive Ford Transit ECOnetic versions, a 100PS FT280 in a short wheelbase low-roof version, and the 125PS FT350 with long wheelbase and medium roof, both equipped with the ECO Pack as standard. The more compact version will provide average CO2 emissions of just 178g/km, which reduces further to 173g/km when equipped with the optional fixed 100 km/h speed limiter.
