The New 2019 Ford Transit mHEV



The new Ford Transit is an updated version of Ford’s large van that we can expect to see during the middle of 2019. We first saw it at the IAA Commercial Vehicle show in Hannover last year and not much else has been said about it so today we are going to take a closer look at it.

Firstly, it’s received a nice modern facelift on the interior and exterior. It also boasts a brand new engine making it more practical and more efficient. What more could you want from a new van?

New Ford vans already dominate the commercial vehicle sales market in the UK and we can honestly see this happening again with this latest model. Even though it is technically not an “all-new” model, it has improved substantially.


As we draw our eyes across the sharp-style new grille and advanced headlight arrangement, there are quite a number of other important new features that we think are worth taking note of in the new 2019 Ford Transit:

1.     There is good news when it comes to the payload. The current Transit loses out to its competitors, but the new launch model will be able to compete strongly against some of the market’s key players.

2.     The updated 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine has given it better fuel economy which has been a downside to the current model.

3.     With a greater payload comes more power thanks to the 185ps engine that delivers an impressive 415Nm of torque allowing it to transport heavy loads with ease.

4.     The drivers cab area has received a complete makeover that in-turn has increased storage space making it very similar to the new Ford Transit Custom.

5.     The new 2019 FordTransit will feature a build-in 4G modem to allow greater management of fleet vehicles and improve connectivity.

6.     An impressive 10-speed automatic gearbox will no-doubt have a huge appeal for long distance drivers, but this option is only available on the rear-wheel drive models.


Probably the most notable announcement from Ford is the introduction of the 48-volt mild hybrid (mHEV) technology.

So what is the Ford Transit mHEV?

Well the first item we should tick off is that mHEV stands for mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle and is basically designed to boost fuel economy.

It works by combining a new 48-volt electrics system - previously the reserve of posh cars from Audi and Bentley, although this has been developed independently of Ford's new partnership with the Volkswagen Group, with a small lithium ion battery. Whenever the van slows down, the electrics capture the energy generated by braking and store it in the battery, where it then helps to power all other on-board systems.

Ford extend payment holidays until September

Image
Ford of Britain have decided to extend its offering of six-month payment holidays to new van buyers in a bid to keep customers buying new commercial vehicles during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is called the Ford ‘Peace of Mind’ programme and was initially launched to run through April and May of this year but they soon decided to extend it until the end of June. Premier Commercial Vehicles can now confirm that the programme is set to run until the end of September 2020. The scheme allows customers to defer the first three payments (after they part with the initial deposit) of their finance agreement. Then the following three payments will be covered by Ford in one single payment, capped at £750 - £1,600, depending on which vehicle the customer has. Something also worth noting is that buyers of Ford vans (including the Ford Transit Custom and large Transit that are available with 0% APR) can opt out of paying anything for the first six months of the finance agreement. This is onl
