The compact van has a traditional, sturdy look. With a reliable and professional aura, it will represent your business perfectly when out on the road. The sliding side door makes it easier to load and unload - and in less space, too. A choice of short and long wheelbases, roof vans and crew vans gives the new Transit Connect even more of the versatility you're looking for.

All of the engines offered to power the new van .are confident 1.8-litre Duratorq turbo diesels. Up to 109bhp and 250Nm of torque will be at your disposal, helping the Transit Connect to carry and tow whatever you need. Depending on the configuration of your van, the maximum payload could be close to a tonne - and you'll still be able to pull a trailer if you need to

Ford's reputation for safety is also upheld with the Transit Connect, as the van is packed with security and protection. As you'd expect, you'll be supported by airbags, braking and traction controls, anti-submarining ramps and height-adjustable head restraints. The van's body incorporates energy-absorbing crumple zones and side-impact beams, and any bulkhead you choose will be DIN compliant. Active Yaw Control is designed for Ford vans to help with both oversteer and understeer.
