2017 Ford Transit And Transit Custom Add New Auto Option

As part of a range-wide update to the Ford Transit and Transit Custom commercial vans, a six-speed automatic transmission joins the range, plugging a major hole in Ford’s van line-up.

Along with the new transmission Ford is also introducing a new 2.0-litre EcoBlue turbo diesel engine across the entire Transit Custom range, plus the 350L front wheel drive Transit auto. 

Outputs from the new engine are rated at 125kW/405Nm in the Transit and 96kW/385Nm in the Transit Custom. The previous 2.2 litre turbo diesel of the Transit manual models also continues unchanged with outputs of 114kW and 385Nm.
