HOW CAN WE HELP?
The Tourneo Custom incorporates a range of no compromise systems designed to maximise both performance and efficiency. These include the new Ford EcoBlue 2.0litre engine, an automatic transmission that delivers more efficient gear changes for you and Auto Start-Stop.
Available in the Transit Custom plug-in hybrid, geofencing technology is designed to help improve local air quality. The PHEV van can detect when it enters a congestion zone or low-emission zone, and then automatically switch to electric only drive mode. Users can also create custom “green zones” to reduce emissions near schools, in urban areas and warehouses.
The geofence module also records information about electric-only operation within low-emission areas. This data can be shared with authorities to confirm compliance within low-emission zones, avoiding the risk of wrongful fines and penalties.
When the Transit Custom PHEV leaves a controlled zone, it automatically switches to the most appropriate drive mode for the next leg of the journey.
The Ford Tourneo Custom Plug-in Hybrid has two sources of power to help your passengers get where they need to be more efficiently than ever. An advanced electric powertrain enables you to complete shorter trips with zero emissions. And on longer journeys the multiple award-winning 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine kicks in to ensure you can go as far as you want. It’s technology designed to maximise efficiency without compromising on the reliability and flexibility you expect in a Tourneo.
The Plug-in Hybrid can be charged anywhere you have access to the mains. And once fully charged, this can take you up to 33 miles (55 kilometres) using the electric motor alone (range may vary depending on the vehicle, weather conditions and driving behaviour). That’s enough to complete most short city trips without using any fuel. When you’re low on power, the engine not only extends the range, but helps recharge the battery too. The Tourneo also uses smart self-charging technology, such as regenerative braking, to send power back to the electric motor. Once sufficiently charged, you can switch back to electric only, helping you save money and reduce pollution.
Featuring a range of advanced 2.0-litre Ford EcoBlue diesel engines, the Tourneo Custom is more powerful and more efficient than ever. With four powertrains available, offering up to 185 PS and 405 Nm of torque, you’re guaranteed to find the one that meets your specific needs. Whichever you choose, every engine meets the stringent Euro 6.2 emissions standards too. The vehicle is even available as a mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (mHEV) for even greater fuel economy and reduced emissions.
The advanced Ford EcoBlue 2.0-litre engines are durable and reliable, with service intervals of up to 40,000 kmLong Service Intervals, or up to two years, whichever occurs first. Along with this, components subject to normal wear and tear have also been designed to last longer without maintenance.
The Ford EcoBlue 2.0-litre engine is an advanced diesel engine that achieves the ultra-low, Euro 6.2 emissions targets. The targets were achieved through the introduction of advanced catalytic systems technology. And we’ve achieved all of this without compromising the performance or driving experience.
A selective catalytic reduction system uses AdBlue®, a urea/water-based fluid to convert NOx emissions in the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter then reduces more than 99% of emitted solid particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust. To operate correctly, the AdBlue® tank of your Ford EcoBlue diesel engine must be filled with AdBlue® fluid. System warnings illuminate when fluid level becomes too low.
When you stop at traffic lights or your vehicle is idling in a queue, this technology can automatically switch off the engine (while still supplying power to essentials like the headlights, air-conditioning, radio and the Ford SYNC system). When you're ready to move, just depress the clutch and select first gear as usual, or press the accelerator on an automatic, and the system restarts. Auto Start-Stop is particularly effective in town and city streets, where it can cut fuel consumption by up to 10% (urban cycle).
Unlike traditional systems, Smart Regenerative Charging only charges the battery when it needs it and, whenever possible, avoids doing so when you’re pressing the accelerator. This can help save even more fuel and further reduce emissions.
Both the 130 PS and 170 PS engines are available with the six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. This is the standard powertrain of choice on a wide range of body styles and GVMs, and it’s designed to provide a smooth, relaxing driving experience, especially in busy stop-start traffic. The transmission allows you to change gear manually if you prefer, using the gear shifter buttons on the facia-mounted gear lever. It also provides the ability to lock out gears in more challenging driving conditions. For example, on slippery surfaces or steep gradients.
An on-board trip computer gives you useful facts and figures about your mileage, fuel consumption, speed and the outside air temperature. It also includes ‘distance to empty’: roughly how far you can go on the fuel left in the tank. This is particularly useful on long journeys, or if you know you’ll be driving somewhere remote.
