Ford Transit Business Leasing

The Transit has been designed primarily as a working commercial vehicle. Its broad range of sizes and configurations allows it to support businesses across numerous sectors.

Ford Transit business leasing may be suitable for:

• Construction and building companies
• Couriers and parcel-delivery operators

• Facilities-management companies

Business Contract Hire provides use of the van for an agreed contract term and mileage allowance in return for fixed monthly rentals.

At the end of the agreement, the vehicle is normally returned to the finance provider, subject to the contract terms, agreed mileage and applicable fair wear and tear standards.

Other available funding solutions may include Finance Lease, Hire Purchase and outright purchase.

Ford Transit Load Space and Payload

The Transit’s principal strength is its ability to carry substantial commercial loads.

Depending on the selected length, roof height, gross vehicle weight and drivetrain, the Transit can provide:

• Up to 15.1m³ of cargo volume
• Maximum internal load length of approximately 4,256mm
• Payload capacity exceeding 2,300kg on selected panel vans
• Wide side loading door
• Twin rear doors opening through as much as 270 degrees
• Low and practical loading access

The maximum figures are achieved by different derivatives and may not be available together on one vehicle.

Payload must include the weight of the driver, passengers, tools, racking, optional equipment, conversion bodies and cargo. MPH can help you calculate the practical carrying capacity required by your operation.

Ford Transit Sizes

The Ford Transit range includes several body lengths and roof heights.

Depending on the current model range, available sizes can include:

• L2 medium-wheelbase models
• L3 long-wheelbase models
• L4 extended-length models
• H2 medium-roof vans
• H3 high-roof vans

Shorter versions can be easier to operate in urban areas, while long and high-roof models maximise load length and cargo volume.

Choosing the correct size should be based on:

• Typical load dimensions
• Required payload
• Number of passengers
• Parking and access restrictions
• Expected annual mileage
• Towing requirements
• Conversion equipment
• Loading and unloading conditions

MPH Vehicle Solutions can help compare the measurements and carrying capacities of individual derivatives.

Ford Transit Diesel

Diesel Transit models remain a strong choice for businesses covering longer distances, carrying heavy loads or operating in locations without dependable vehicle charging.

The current range uses a 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine with selected power outputs including:

• 105PS
• 130PS
• 165PS

Depending on the derivative, diesel Transit models can offer:

• Six-speed manual transmission
• Eight-speed automatic transmission
• Ten-speed automatic transmission
• Front-wheel drive
• Rear-wheel drive
• Intelligent all-wheel drive
• Up to approximately 390Nm of torque

A diesel Transit may be especially suitable for:

• Heavy payloads
• Trailer towing
• Rural or remote operation
• Multi-shift fleets
• Converted vehicles
• Businesses without depot charging

Fuel consumption and emissions vary according to the engine, transmission, drivetrain, body size, payload and operating conditions.

Ford E-Transit

The E-Transit is the fully electric version of the Ford Transit and provides large-van practicality with no tailpipe emissions while driving.

The current E-Transit range includes standard-range and enhanced-range battery options.

Depending on the selected model, features can include:

• 68kWh standard-range battery
• 89kWh enhanced-range battery

Standard-range models can provide a higher payload and may suit intensive local delivery work. Enhanced-range versions prioritise additional driving range for longer regional routes.

The E-Transit may be suitable for:

• Urban and regional deliveries
• Depot-based fleets
• Local authorities
• Utilities companies
• Facilities-management providers
• Low-emission fleet policies
• Planned multi-drop routes

Actual electric range depends on vehicle configuration, payload, temperature, speed, route, driving style, battery condition and use of heating or air conditioning.

Current charging capabilities vary by battery but can include:

• AC charging for overnight or depot use
• Rapid DC charging for shorter operational stops

The quoted charging times require a suitably powerful charger and suitable battery conditions. Actual charging speeds may vary.

MPH can help businesses consider daily mileage, vehicle downtime, depot capacity and charging requirements before transitioning to electric vans.

Ford Transit Drivetrain Options

The Transit’s different drivetrain configurations allow businesses to select a model suited to their working environment.

Front-Wheel Drive

Front-wheel-drive Transit models can offer a lower load floor and may be well suited to:

• Parcel delivery
• Urban operation
• Lower loading heights
• General trade use
• Businesses prioritising cargo access

Rear-Wheel Drive

Rear-wheel-drive versions can be beneficial for:

• Heavier loads
• Towing
• Chassis cab conversions
• Demanding commercial work
• Businesses requiring stronger traction when laden

All-Wheel Drive

Selected diesel models are available with intelligent all-wheel drive, which can support traction in difficult weather or on loose and uneven surfaces.

It may be suitable for:

• Construction sites
• Rural businesses
• Utilities providers
• Winter operation
• Remote service work

All-wheel drive supports traction but does not remove the need to drive appropriately for the conditions.

Ford Transit Double Cab-in-Van

The Double Cab-in-Van combines additional passenger seating with a separate rear load compartment.

Depending on the selected model, it can provide three front seats and a second row for up to four additional passengers.

It may be useful for:

• Construction teams
• Utility crews
• Installation businesses
• Landscaping companies
• Maintenance providers
• Mobile engineering teams
• Businesses carrying staff and equipment together

The additional seats and bulkhead reduce cargo volume and payload compared with an equivalent panel van.

Ford Transit Chassis Cab

The Ford Transit Chassis Cab provides a flexible platform for specialist commercial bodies.

Available configurations can include:

• Single cab
• Double cab
• Multiple chassis lengths
• Single or dual rear wheels
• Gross vehicle weights of up to five tonnes
• Diesel and electric powertrains

Potential conversion bodies include:

• Dropsides
• Tippers
• Luton vans
• Box bodies
• Curtain-side vehicles
• Refrigerated bodies
• Recovery vehicles
• Low loaders
• Mobile workshops
• Welfare vehicles
• Specialist utility bodies

Selected five-tonne chassis models can provide payload capacity approaching three tonnes before the weight of the conversion body is taken into account.

Ford Transit Van Conversions

The Transit is widely used as a platform for specialist commercial-vehicle conversions.

Potential conversions include:

• Luton vans with tail lifts
• Single and double-cab dropsides
• One-way and three-way tippers
• Refrigerated vans
• Temperature-controlled vehicles
• Curtain-side bodies
• Low-loader vehicles
• Mobile workshops
• Welfare and crew vehicles
• Utility and maintenance vans
• Vehicle recovery bodies
• Bespoke racking and storage systems

When specifying a conversion, it is essential to consider the weight of the body, equipment, passengers and expected cargo.

MPH can coordinate vehicle sourcing, funding and conversion requirements through appropriate commercial-vehicle suppliers.

Explore our van conversion solutions or speak to the MPH team about a bespoke requirement.

Ford Transit Towing Capacity

Selected Transit panel vans can tow a braked trailer weighing up to approximately 3,500kg when correctly specified.

Selected chassis cab models can provide a gross train mass of up to 7,000kg. This is the permitted combined weight of the vehicle and trailer rather than the trailer’s individual weight.

Towing capacity depends on the:

• Engine
• Transmission
• Drivetrain
• Axle ratio
• Gross vehicle weight
• Gross train weight
• Body style
• Payload
• Conversion

Always confirm the plated towing limits of the individual derivative before ordering or attaching a trailer.
