Ford’s All-New Transit Shows 46% Fuel Economy Boost vs. E-Series
According to stats just released by Ford, the all-new 2015 Ford Transit delivers as much as 46 percent better gas mileage than Ford E-Series.
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 an established track record with more than 7 million units sold worldwide since being introduced in Europe in 1965.
“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. “
Three engine choices are available. 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.
