Ford's relatively new Transit Connect has revived a little van-love, but it has a bigger brother that's bound our way soon to replace the E-Series van.
America's Transit is coming, however. It will be built in Kansas City in both light-duty and heavy-duty versions, confirmed to Motor Authority by Ford. Ford's also touting the Tourneo's car-like interior, an aspect that could also come to America's Transit vans, in certain applications.
Previewing the introduction of a completely new range of people movers, with commercial vehicles to follow, the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept showcases a dramatic new look that will appeal to customers seeking style, functionality and space.
The Ford Tourneo Custom Concept will preview of a host of exciting new features, which give the vehicle strong car-like appeal.
The Concept also showcases a number of smart innovations including multi-adjustable and removable rear seating, advanced SYNC voice-activated, in-car connectivity system with Emergency Assistance feature, and the latest Ford low-CO2 ECOnetic Technologies.
Dramatic new design language
The Ford Tourneo Custom Concept communicates very clearly a dramatic new design direction for Ford's commercial vehicle range, which will be introduced later in 2012.
With its advanced, streamlined appearance, the concept vehicle embodies the same dynamic character as Ford's Kinetic Design passenger cars - generating the strong sense of movement, even when the vehicle is standing still.
Signature Kinetic Design features helps give the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept its unique character, including the bold trapezoidal grille, strong and muscular shoulder line, prominent wheel lips and window lines with the distinctive kick at the rear.
Luxurious car-like interior
Bringing a whole new level of car-like style and sophistication to the personal use segment, the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept features an all-new interior design.
Smart New Features
The Ford Tourneo Custom Concept highlights that customers in the personal use market can expect the same high levels of technology which are enjoyed by Ford car drivers.
ECOnetic Technologies - Ford's advanced low-CO2 features including Auto-Start-Stop and Smart Regenerative Charging.
The Ford Tourneo Custom Concept is based on a new Ford global platform which has been engineered to deliver car-like dynamics, including agile, responsive handling, enhanced ride comfort and reduced noise-levels.
New Generation of Ford Commercial Vehicles
The debut of the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept has added significance in heralding the arrival of a completely new generation of Ford commercial vehicles.
