New Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van Is Ready for Work: Smart, Capable and More Efficient Than Ever

  • The new 2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van packs big work in a small package with ease and efficiency for any business
  • Smart: Keeps up with the fast mobile pace of today’s connected business owners with standard 4G LTE wireless connectivity, available wireless mobile device charging and the most driver-assist technologies in the segment, including standard Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Capable: Built Ford Tough durability, quality and reliability ensures Transit Connect remains America’s best-selling compact cargo van based on total U.S. reported sales for calendar year 2017
  • More efficient: Two new powertrain offerings include a segment-exclusive 1.5-liter EcoBlue® diesel targeted to return an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of at least 30 mpg highway (actual mileage will vary)

 

Ford today introduces the new 2019 Transit Connect Cargo Van. New and exclusive driver-assist technologies, two new drivetrains including the only available diesel in the segment, and unsurpassed capabilities mean no other competitor can touch Transit Connect when it comes to helping any business go big.

The best-selling compact cargo van in America, Ford Transit Connect has a commanding 46 percent market share. More than 300,000 Transit Connect vehicles have been sold since 2009 when Ford created the segment in the United States. Of those, 97 percent are still on the road – a testament to Transit Connect’s proven Built Ford Tough durability and versatility.

“The original Transit Connect’s compact size resonated with customers searching for a more maneuverable and efficient commercial van,” said Tim Stoehr, Ford general fleet marketing manager. “We’ve enhanced Transit Connect’s available technology and powertrains to keep up with what our customers need. It is a critical tool with smart features to help improve productivity out in the field.”
