Award winning Van

The Transit Custom is the compact van in the Transit range. Setting the benchmark for efficiency and loadspace with
a fully laden trailer. The Transit Custom passed with full marks. its Best-In-Class fuel economy & emissions, thanks largely to fuel-saving ECOnetic technologies like Auto Start-
Stop and Smart Regenerative Charging. It’s not surprising that it was awarded the prestigious International Van of the
Year award in its launch year. Like all Ford Transits, the Transit Custom has durability in its DNA. A relentless testing
programme ensures that it’s a vehicle that lasts.

Multi-piece bumpers
Smart front and rear bumpers feature a
multi-piece design to help keep repair costs low.

Tested for endurance

Extensive testing included a two-month
maximum speed test and demanding
low-speed city drive cycles to imitate
typical unforgiving delivery schedules.

Smart Regenerative Charging

Smart Regenerative Charging monitors battery
usage and when charge falls to a pre-set level
the alternator cuts in to charge as necessary.
This means that the alternator is not used when
battery charge is high, reducing power drain on
the engine thus improving fuel economy.
The alternator is also used to charge the battery
when the vehicle is braking, transforming
energy which would have been wasted into
electrical power.
