Based on Ford's global B-segment platform, the Transit Courier goes on sale from spring net year, delivering class-leading load volume of 2.3m3 (SAE) with standard full bulkhead within an overall length of 4.16 metres, and offers the agile handling and manoeuvrability of a compact vehicle.

With a generous 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.

‘With 10 per cent more load volume and floor area than its closest competitors, the all-new Transit Courier brings a new level of productivity to the compact van segment,’ said Barb Samardzich, vice-president of product development, Ford of Europe. ‘This is a stylish, practical and affordable new van that businesses will value for its agility and exceptionally low cost of ownership.’

The Transit Courier will be available with diesel and petrol units, including the 1.5-litre 75PS and 1.6-litre 95PS Duratorq TDCi diesel engines, and the 1.0-litre 100PS EcoBoost petrol engine. Auto-Start-Stop is offered on all units.
