Ford comes with a new small space miracle

Can’t see the wood for the Transit and Tourneo trees? We can well imagine that. The Transit range consists of four commercial vehicles, which are called Transit Courier, Transit Connect, Transit Custom and simply Transit from small to large. With the exception of the Transit itself – a competitor to the Renault Master – there is also a passenger car version of every Transit model where the Transit part of the name has been replaced by Tourneo. Yes, passenger car version. After all, there are also simpler passenger variants of most Transits called Kombi. So much for the Transit range at a glance. The Transit Custom and Transit Connect have recently been completely revised and now we can show you the revised Transit Courier. The smallest of the bunch.

The Ford Transit/Tourneo Courier is another step below this Transit/Tourneo Connect.

Where the previous Ford Transit / Tourneo Connect was on the C1 platform that was also under the previous generation Focus, the completely new generation of technology presented in 2021 borrows from the Volkswagen Caddy. This is the result of extensive cooperation between Ford and Volkswagen. The smaller Ford Transit / Tourneo Courier – which has been running since 2013 – you will find technology from the Ford Fiesta. What lies beneath this brand new model? That is still the question. The new Transit Courier will soon see the light of day at Ford’s Romanian factory in Craiova. Ford also screws together the Puma there. It’s not inconceivable that the Transit Courier borrows some of its engineering from that crossover. The Puma is linked to the Fiesta, which means that the new Transit Courier once again houses Fiesta technology.

Incidentally, there will not only be combustion engines in the new Transit Courier. Ford also has a fully electric variant in the pipeline. Like the outgoing model, the Transit Courier seems to be a real European party again. After all, the model was never delivered outside Europe. Also striking is the front of this test sample, which is remarkably similar to that of the larger Explorer.
