Ford recently officially filed for industrial design protection for the new generation Ford Transit in Vietnam.
The registration was submitted on April 12th and announced on December 25th. In addition, the American carmaker has also filed for protection of other parts such as headlights, front grille, and lower bumper of the vehicle.
Similar to the Ford Transit currently sold in Vietnam, the new generation is still a version for the Chinese market, not a global version. The vehicle is developed and produced by the JMC-Ford joint venture, which previously developed the Territory SUV model.
In the new generation, the 2024 Transit may be available in two variants: a cargo variant and a passenger variant.
The vehicle also comes in three wheelbase lengths: short (3,000 mm), medium (3,300 mm), and long (3,750 mm), with two options for roof height (medium and high).
For the exterior, the cargo version bears a resemblance to the Ranger pickup truck with a C-shaped headlight cluster and a horizontal bar on the front grille. In contrast, the passenger version replaces the horizontal bar with soft chrome details, creating a more luxurious appearance.
In the Chinese market, the cabin of the new Transit has undergone a significant transformation. Notably, there is a modern dual 12.3-inch screen on the dashboard. The vehicle is equipped with various convenient features such as keyless entry, voice interaction, seat heating, and remote start for the air conditioning.
In terms of safety equipment, the new Ford Transit features Level 2.5 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and the Bosch Vehicle Stability System. The chassis of the new Transit is reinforced with 68 boron steel points. The testing and corrosion-resistant standards applied to the new generation Transit exceed the general industry standards.
In the new version, the Ford Transit is equipped with the RAS air suspension system, allowing the driver to adjust the vehicle’s ground clearance through the control screen.
It is not yet known which engine will be used for the vehicle in Vietnam. In China, the Transit is available with two engine options. The first is a 2.3L turbocharged diesel engine with 175 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque, paired with either an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission or a 6-speed or 7-speed Magna manual transmission.
The second option is a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine with 154 horsepower and 390 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed or 7-speed manual transmission.
