Preston Ford’s commercial truck division located in Hurlock,
Maryland has scheduled the arrival of the all new Ford Transit Connect. The Transit Connect is Ford Motor Company’s all new, European inspired,
small commercial van that will appeal to small business owners and fulfill the
need for a fuel efficient work vehicle.
The all new Transit Connect is said to have a maximum
storage capacity of 143 cubic feet while sustaining great fuel economy, 19 mpg
in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
The small commercial van will be fully customizable with different aftermarket
storage systems available from commercial brand names such as Sortimo and
Adrian Steel.
Measuring in at 15 feet long the Transit has a turning
radius of just 39 feet curb to curb and standing at 6’8” the small commercial
van is ideal for businesses that work in tight areas and need the
maneuverability that the Transit Connect offers. The new barn-door hinges on the 50/50 split
rear doors of Ford’s new commercial vehicle make it easier for loading and
unloading cargo.
Unique to the Transit Connect, Ford Work Solutions apply new
technology to improve efficiency for small businesses that spend most of their
time on the road. The new commercial van
offers the option of an in-dash Windows computer that provides hands free
telecommunication, Internet access and turn by turn navigation.
Ford Work Solutions has also paired up with DeWALT to
provide technology that will keep track of tools stored in the vehicle. Using Radio Frequency Identification users
can scan their van before leaving a job to insure that they have left no tool
behind. This new feature may guarantee
the Maryland Ford dealer the anticipated response to the new commercial van.
Ford Motor Company has left no details out in the
development of the new Transit Connect.
The small van will offer an advanced stability control system that re-measures
the rate of roll 100 times per second, insuring that the new commercial vehicle
is safe for all businesses.
Many are excited about the arrival of the Transit Connect
including Commercial Sales Manager, Jim Phelps, who stated, “We are very
excited for the arrival of the new commercial van and have already had many
inquiries about the Transit Connect. We
have always satisfied our local business owners by providing them with the
latest models Ford has to offer at the lowest prices and we intend to keep that
up with the arrival of Ford’s Transit Connect.”
Preston Ford plans on the Transit Connect to arrive at their dealership
at the end of June or in July and may even replace some of their own fleet
vehicles with the new commercial van.
