The Ford transit Van is a real workhorse. First introduced in 1965 the Transit has become synonymous with hard work. The fourth generation Transit, received a facelift to the body, introduced in August 2006. Besides the styling changes, the old petrol engine was replaced with one from the Ford Ranger, the front-wheel-drive diesel went from 2.0 to 2.2 litres capacity, and all diesel engines gained high-pressure common rail (TDCi) systems.
The new version (Ford nomenclature V347 for front-wheel drive and V348 for rear-wheel drive) won International Van of the Year for 2007. This Transit arrived in Mexico to replace the Freestar after the 2007 model year. This was the first Transit having a five-cylinder engine.
In 2006 Ford launched of the "Sport Van", a production van featuring the 130 PS (96 kW) engine. Late-2007 saw the launch of the 140 PS (103 kW) engine for front wheel drives (replacing the 130 PS) complete with the VMT6 6-speed manual transaxle.
The 6-speed transaxle was introduced on the mid-power FWD in late 2008 when the 110 PS (81 kW) engine was upped to 115 PS (85 kW). In late-2008, the "coated Diesel Particulate Filter" (cDPF) designed to meet higher emission standards than the current Euro IV requirement was introduced as an option on all diesel engines.
