The all-new 2015 Ford Transit, America’s newest Built Ford Tough
van, delivers as much as 46 percent better gas mileage than Ford
E-Series and offers Ford van customers more choices and capability
than ever.
Transit goes on sale for the first time at U.S. and Canadian
dealerships this summer, eventually replacing America’s
best-selling van for 35 years, E-Series, first sold in 1961 as Ford
Econoline.
Transit has a proven legacy with more than 7 million units sold
worldwide since being introduced in Europe in 1965. Ford has been
the best-selling commercial vehicle brand in the United Kingdom for
nearly 50 years and Transit is the recipient of two International
Van of the Year awards.
“We are excited to serve our fleet and commercial customers in
North America with the all-new Transit,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford
vice president, Engineering. “Transit is Built Ford Tough and
represents One Ford at its best, building on lessons learned from
our decades of leadership in the commercial vehicle markets in the
United States and Europe.”
Three engine choices offer performance and efficiency
Transit comes standard with a 3.7-liter V6 engine, and customers
also can choose from an available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® or 3.2-liter
Power Stroke® diesel.
When equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, all-new 2015
Transit low- and medium-roof regular wheelbase wagons get a 14 mpg
city/19 mpg highway EPA-estimated rating.* That reflects an
improvement of as much as 46 percent compared with the 10 mpg
city/13 mpg highway EPA-estimated rating for the Ford E-Series
6.8-liter V10 premium gas engine. The improved gas mileage
translates to fuel savings as high as $1,700 annually, based on EPA
data.
Transit low- and medium-roof regular wheelbase wagons with the
standard 3.7-liter V6 get a 14 mpg city/19 mpg highway
EPA-estimated rating* – up to 19 percent better than the 13 mpg
city/16 mpg EPA-estimated rating for the E-Series 4.6-liter V8
standard gas engine. Fuel savings for customers could be as much as
$650 a year, according to EPA estimates.

EPA-estimated ratings for low- and medium-roof regular-wheelbase
models. Actual mileage will vary. 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel
available on Transit is not EPA-rated.
The proven 3.5-liter EcoBoost available for Ford Transit offers
a gas engine torque rating of 400 lb.-ft. – best in class among
full-size vans – making Transit an excellent choice for those whose
work requires extra cargo-hauling capability. The 3.5-liter
EcoBoost engine’s low-end torque and 310 horsepower result from its
suite of technologies including direct injection and twin
turbocharging.
The available 3.2-liter Power Stroke five-cylinder diesel engine
provides 90 percent of its peak torque from 1,500 to 2,750 rpm.
Quick-start glow plugs offer fast startups at temperatures as low
as 10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. A variable geometry
turbocharger helps deliver quick power.

Transit van delivers as much as 4,650 pounds of maximum payload
capacity – more than competing vans from General Motors and
Chrysler. Maximum payload increases at least 600 pounds across all
sizes of Transit vans versus comparable E-Series vans. Transit
delivers a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 pounds.
Towing and hauling are made easy by the standard six-speed
SelectShift® automatic transmission. It features selectable
tow/haul mode to compensate for grade and load, while also reducing
gear hunting when towing or hauling heavy cargo.
A compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas prep
package is available on Transit when equipped with the 3.7-liter V6
engine.
Built Ford Tough
Built Ford Tough is part of the Transit DNA, and the all-new
unibody structure makes extensive use of boron steel for weight
savings, improved torsional stiffness and long-term durability.
Transit was tested for more than 7 million customer-equivalent
miles at Ford proving grounds and in the hands of real-world fleet
customers in North America.
The 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.7-liter V6 engines have been proven
in more than 700,000 Ford F-150 trucks since 2011.
The globally proven 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel engine
underwent more than 4,000 hours of rigorous dynamometer testing
specifically for Transit. Testing included running at maximum
engine power for 750 hours (the equivalent of 14 nonstop round
trips from New York to Los Angeles) simulating 10 years’ service
across 150,000 miles, and in environments with temperatures of 40
degrees below zero and altitudes of more than 14,500 feet.
To simulate the heavy use fleet and commercial customers put
their vans through, Ford testers opened and slammed Transit doors
250,000 times – nearly three times more than for a car.
Capability to get the job done
The all-new Transit van offers a best-in-class gas engine
maximum cargo capacity of 487.3 cubic feet when properly equipped –
75 percent more than the largest E-Series van. The extended-length
wagon model offers best-in-class cargo storage (100.5 cubic feet)
behind the last row of seats in a 15-passenger version – ideal for
shuttle service.
Transit high-roof van models offer best-in-class cargo height to
make loading easier, and high-roof wagon models deliver
best-in-class passenger compartment height, enabling passengers as
tall as 6 feet 4 inches to stand upright.
Transit also has a best-in-class rear door opening height and
the available 270-degree swing-out rear cargo doors offer quick and
easy access.
Offering the most choices
Transit is available in a best-in-class range of vehicle
configurations and offers more choices than ever from a Ford
commercial van.
Customers can choose from van, wagon, chassis cab and cutaway
body styles; three body lengths and two wheelbases for van and
wagon, along with three roof heights; and XL and XLT trim
levels.
A center aisle for most configurations combines with easy access
through wide-opening side doors and ample legroom to allow fast and
hassle-free pickups and drop-offs.
Transit van is ideal for custom storage and shelving systems
such as cargo dividers, multi-racks, bulkheads and sliding
platforms. Upfitting is made easy with 11 available upfit
ship-throughs, eight of which are located within 20 miles of Kansas
City Assembly Plant where Transit is built. Transit vehicles can be
custom-configured at www.TransitUpfits.com.
Smart features
Transit customers can add even more smart technology, including
available Crew Chief telematics to help track service and mileage
costs and MyKey® to help encourage safer driving. An available
lane-keeping alert system detects lane markings with a
forward-facing camera and vibrates the steering wheel to help alert
drivers to steer back toward the center of the lane.
An internal ladder-rack system, available as an upfit, helps
keep ladders protected from poor weather and away from prying
eyes.
