TRANSIT CUSTOM FEATURES

With a range of innovative features, smart technologies, and advanced powertrains, the Ford Transit Custom is more capable and refined than ever. The FordPass Connect modem and FordPass Pro app work together to unlock a range of connectivity features. These include tracking the location of your van through your phone, and receiving Vehicle Health Alerts to help stay on top of maintenance. Technology like Blind Spot Information System and Traffic Sign Recognition help to increase awareness. There’s up to 6.8 cubic metres of load space and the option to add a tow bar or roof rack if you need to carry more. Available in two heights, two lengths and multiple payloads with a choice of Diesel, mHEV and PHEV engines.

UTILITY

EXCEPTIONAL LOAD SPACE AND ACCESS

The Transit Custom provides impressive load space in all three dimensions: load length, width (from wheel arch to wheel arch) and usable interior height. As a result, the Transit Custom can easily carry standard 8’ x 4’ boards placed on their side or flat on the floor, three euro pallets and, thanks to its unique load-through storage area, items up to 3m long. Overall, the van provides a cavernous six cubic metres of load space with a bulkhead fitted – and that’s just the short wheelbase (L1) version. The long wheelbase (L2) offers 6.8 cubic metres. A wide side load door-opening, optimised opening height and a low rear access step ensures effortless access to load space. The sliding doors also have a checking mechanism which holds them securely open for loading.

USEFUL STOWAGE EVERYWHERE

Transit Custom is full of handy stowage spaces. For example, there’s easy access stowage in the instrument panel. A concealed, lockable glove-box is big enough to hold A4 hanging files and, depending on which Series you choose, it can be illuminated too. There’s also convenient under-seat stowage for valuables. A retractable cup-holder is positioned between the driver and front passenger seats (only available with manual transmission). Even the vehicle’s doors are designed to maximise space with large pockets that can accommodate an A4 clipboard and a 2-litre drink bottle.

BETTER LIGHTING FOR EASIER, SAFER LOADING

Optional super-bright, energy efficient LED lights for the load area are invaluable when you’re working inside the back of your van. They’re another simple, yet practical innovation.

TURNING MADE EASY

The Transit Custom has a turning circle from just 10.96 metresTooltip, which is impressive for a vehicle of its size. This makes city driving, with all its parking, picking up and dropping off, so much easier.

PEACE OF MIND WITH AN ANTI-PERFORATION WARRANTY

HYBRID

GO FURTHER FOR LESS WITH A PHEV

Fully charged, the Transit Custom Plug-In Hybrid can take you up to 26 miles (42 kilometres) using the electric motor alone (range may vary depending on the vehicle, weather conditions and driving behaviour). Ideal on those short trips in the city that usually result in low efficiency and more money spent on fuel. On longer journeys, the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine helps to extend the van’s range – working with regenerative braking to recharge the battery. Then find charging stations in the FordPass Pro app, charge up and switch back to electric only, helping you save money and reduce pollution. For more information visit https://www.ford.co.uk/owner/resources-and-support/fuel-economy

MILD HYBRID, MIGHTILY EFFICIENT

For improved fuel economy and lower emissions, choose the Transit Custom mild Hybrid. Its Ford EcoBlue diesel engine is assisted during normal driving by an electric motor. At lower speeds, or when stationary, the engine can switch itself off to save fuel, and the 48V starter-generator seamlessly restarts when needed. Its separate 48V lithium-ion battery is automatically recharged by regenerative braking and during coasting. So you never need to connect it to an external power source.

ADAPT TO THE CONDITIONS

Selectable Drive Modes allows you to tailor your Transit Custom’s performance by choosing from two available drive modes: Normal and for maximum efficiency, EcoMode.

These include throttle response and steering feel, as well as gear-change behaviour on vehicles with automatic transmission.

MONITORS YOUR DIRECTION

Working in conjunction with Traffic Sign Recognition, Wrong Way Alert is designed to provide visual and audible warnings if you pass a no-entry sign, and to alert you if you travel the wrong way down a road.

SECURITY

TWO HIGH LEVEL ALARM OPTIONS

The Transit Custom is available with an optional perimeter alarm system, which is set off if the doors or bonnet are opened by force. A more sophisticated Thatcham Category 1 alarm system is also available. This automatically arms itself when you lock the vehicle and a powerful alarm sounds if triggered by forced entry, the vehicle being lifted, or if the motion sensors pick up any movement inside.

PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS

We know your vehicle and its contents are the heart of your business. That’s why SecuriAlert, within the FordPass Pro app, puts your vehicle into a heightened state of security. If the doors are unlocked or opened, even with a duplicate key, it will send a notification to your smartphone.

YOU CHOOSE WHICH DOORS YOU WANT TO LOCK AND UNLOCK

The Transit Custom has remote control central door locking, which is more secure than ever. That’s because you can choose to open one individual door while the other doors stay securely locked until you activate a switch on the driver’s door. This same switch controls the locking and unlocking of all the vehicle’s doors. You can also check Live Lock Status and remotely unlock cabin and loadspace zones separately, using FordPass Pro.
