\"All-new

The all-new Ford Transit Courier is due to go on sale in the UK in spring 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n

The all-new Ford Transit Courier has made its global debut at the International CV Show in Birmingham, alongside models from the all-new Ford Transit two-tonne range and a new high-roof version of the Transit Custom.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s compact and efficient all-new Transit Courier van makes its global debut at the 2013 Birmingham CV Show<\/a> as the company presents its complete line-up of four next-generation Transit commercial vehicles for the first time.<\/p>\n

Offering class-leading loadspace, running costs and safety features, the Transit Courier is the smallest member of the all-new Transit range, and joins the Transit Connect, Transit Custom and Transit in the most comprehensive ever line-up of Transit vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cFord has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers,\u201d said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Product Development, Ford of Europe. \u201cWith the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 per cent more than we sell today.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Transit Courier goes on sale in spring 2014, when all four new Transit models will be available in European showrooms. The line-up will also include the spacious new high-roof version of the Transit Custom that is also revealed for the first time in Birmingham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The all-new Transit Courier marks a significant development for the Transit range, expanding the nameplate into the compact van segment for the first time.<\/p>\n

Based on Ford\u2019s global B-segment platform, the Transit Courier delivers class-leading load volume of 2.3m3<\/sup> (SAE) with standard full bulkhead within an overall length of 4.16 metres, and offers the agile handling and manoeuvrability of a compact vehicle.<\/p>\n

With a highly-competitive load volume and maximum payload capacity of 660kg, the Transit Courier can accommodate a wide variety of cargo and equipment, including a standard Euro pallet, and will go head-to-head<\/a> against the Citroen Nemo \/ Peugeot Bipper<\/a> \/ Fiat Fiorino<\/a> when it’s launched next year.<\/p>\n

The Transit Courier will be available with both diesel and petrol engines that Ford says will target best-in-class fuel economy. Auto-Start-Stop will be available on all units and customers will be able to choose between the Dagenham-built 1.5-litre 75PS and 1.6-litre 95PS Duratorq TDCi diesel engines, and the remarkable 1.0-litre 100PS EcoBoost petrol engine, the \u201cInternational Engine of the Year\u201d 2012.<\/p>\n

The cabin offers a mobile-office environment, with smart stowage including a \u201cmega-centre\u201d console capable of storing A4 documents and small laptops; overhead stowage; and a storage drawer under the driver\u2019s seat. A device dock in the centre of the instrument panel enables occupants to store, mount and charge mobile devices including phones and satnavs.<\/p>\n

The Transit Courier will also offer voice-activated in-car connectivity system, Ford SYNC with Emergency Assistance, Rear View Camera, Easy Fuel, Speed Limiter and standard ESC (Electronic Stability Control); and a class-leading variety of safety features.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
