isellford Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Transit Connect fills unmet needs of small businesses and fleets The Transit Connect was brought to the U.S. to fulfill the unmet needs of small business owners and entrepreneurs, offering them a new vehicle choice with significantly improved fuel economy, generous and accessible cargo space, and the agility and maneuverability to operate in crowded urban areas. Powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 engine with a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, the Transit Connect offers double the fuel economy of full-size vans, delivering an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. The Transit Connect also has more than double the cargo-carrying capacity of the Chevrolet HHR Panel, making it suitable for a broader range of commercial-use applications. And it offers commercial users a cargo payload of up to 1,600 pounds – a larger payload than the full-size Dodge Ram 1500 standard-cab short-box pickup truck. The Transit Connect also is available with the industry-exclusive Ford Work Solutions™, a suite of affordable technologies that provides customers with connectivity, flexibility, visibility and security to better run key aspects of their business. On Transit Connect, Ford Work Solutions delivers three innovative features: · A wireless in-dash computer that provides full high-speed Internet access, Bluetooth-enabled hands-free calling and navigation. The system also allows customers to print invoices, check inventories and access documents stored on their home or office computer networks right on the job site. · Tool Link™, a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) asset tracking system that enables customers to maintain detailed real-time inventory of the tools or equipment. · Crew Chief™, a fleet tracking, telematics and diagnostics system that provides dynamic location and performance data fleet owners need to more efficiently manage their vehicles, quickly dispatch workers to job sites, monitor driver performance for safety and economy, and keep detailed vehicle maintenance records. Awards and accolades for the 2010 Ford Transit Connect include: 2010 Editors Choice for Vans by CAR and DRIVER Magazine · Detroit Free Press 2010 Truck of the Year · The Detroit News 2010 Truck of the Year · 2010 Popular Mechanics Automotive Excellence Award for Best Workhorse Vehicle · A Great Car for the Small Business Delivery/Utility Worker by Kelley Blue Book kbb.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus1100 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 My only question. Why are they not advertising the heck out of this?? When the flex came out, you couldn't turn on the TV and not see an ad for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
