The new Transit Van 350 LWB is the latest addition to Ford’s commercial vehicle line-up, providing a capable and adaptable vehicle that is designed to serve the diverse needs of business and fleet customers across various industries.
With its proven durability matched to generous dimensions and an impressive list of standard and optional driver assistance and safety features, the new Transit Van 350 LWB is designed to enhance the overall ownership experience, while aiding business owners in accelerating their productivity.
Practicality and Payload
Designed to carry loads of all shapes and sizes, the Transit Van V350 LWB offers a substantial total load volume of 13m3. The load compartment has a maximum floor length of 3 200mm and can accommodate up to four Euro pallets, ensuring outstanding load-carrying capabilities in conjunction with a payload of up to 1 325kg.
Access to the load area is through twin rear barn doors that can open up to 180 degrees, along with a single kerbside load door. Customers can opt for the Delivery Assist Package which comprises side loading doors, a close assist function for the side doors and keyless entry and start.
The load compartment is protected by a complete rear trim board and moulded floor liner. Parcels can be safely secured with 10 strategically located tie-down hooks, while built-in load space lighting ensures that work can continue seamlessly at night or in dark conditions such as in warehouses or covered loading areas. The vehicle can also be specified with optional heavy-duty batteries, should the customer require based on their operating requirements.
On the move
The Transit Van 350 LWB is equipped with Ford’s advanced 2.0-litre Single Turbo EcoBlue diesel engine, delivering 121kW of power and 390Nm of torque. Designed for efficiency and performance, this four-cylinder engine incorporates AdBlue, an additive that converts nitrogen oxide exhaust emissions into harmless nitrogen and water, significantly reducing its environmental impact. A 20-litre AdBlue tank comes standard.
Power is transmitted to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that uses a rotary shifter. Four available selectable Drive Modes – Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, and Slippery – allow the driver to tailor performance or efficiency for various driving conditions and operational needs.
Advanced Technologies
The Transit Van 350 LWB features enhanced digital capabilities too, such as an eight-inch configurable digital instrument cluster and 12-inch multifunction touchscreen display that provides intuitive access to Ford’s SYNC®4 infotainment system, which is equipped with hands-free voice control plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone connectivity.
FordPass functionality is provided via the integrated 5G modem that enables numerous useful functions such as Remote Start, Scheduled Start, Vehicle Health Checks, Vehicle Locator and the ability to remotely lock and unlock the doors – all via the FordPass smartphone app. Additionally, there is a USB charging port and an auxiliary 12v power socket in the cabin to power a range of devices.
Uncompromising safety
A comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems comes standard, including Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with Traction Control, Hill Launch Assist, Rollover Mitigation, as well as ABS brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Emergency Brake Assist. Ford’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring is also standard.
Customers can opt for the Driver Assistance Package at additional cost, which includes Collision Mitigation, Adaptive Speed Control, Ford’s Blind Spot Information System, Lane Keeping Alert & Aid, Reverse Brake Assist, and a 360-degree camera with front and rear parking aids – the latter especially useful when manoeuvring a vehicle that is 5 981mm long. The pack also adds dual power folding exterior mirrors, front fog lamps and a high-mounted LED downlight for added convenience.
Comprehensive vehicle security is taken care of by the standard alarm system and factory-fitted immobiliser, remote-operated central door locks with two-stage unlocking, and drive-away locking with crash unlocking function.
