📖Ford Transit Connect III Panel Van L2: maximum load volume, heavy payload capability and advanced powertrains

Ford Transit Connect III Panel Van L2 (2024-Présent)

Offering up to 3.7 m3 of usable cargo space and a payload rating of up to 820 kg on diesel models, the long-wheelbase Transit Connect III L2 panel van bridges the gap to larger one-tonne commercials. Methodical, high-standard Ford Transit Connect maintenance protects its extended chassis and running gear, making it a formidable fleet rival to the Volkswagen Caddy Maxi and Peugeot Partner Long.

Fleet operators can choose between the robust 2.0 EcoBlue turbo-diesel delivering up to 122 PS or the 1.5 EcoBoost Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), coupled to a six-speed manual or a slick 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, with all-wheel drive available on select diesel derivatives. The extended wheelbase easily swallows two Euro-pallets through wide-opening rear barn doors, supported by reinforced rear axle geometry and heavy-duty braking components.
