Efficient drive

The new Tourneo Connect Active and the new Transit Connect Active are available with an equally economical and powerful 1.5 liter EcoBlue diesel engine (Euro 6d-ISC-FMC) in two power levels: with 74 kW (100 PS) or with 88 kW (120 hp), optionally with a 6-speed manual transmission or with an 8-speed automatic transmission (converter).

A selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system uses the AdBlue additive to convert nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases into nitrogen and water. In addition, the diesel particulate filter is designed to filter out 99 percent of the solid particles contained in the exhaust gas.

Mechanical limited slip differential and more ground clearance

Upon request, both Connect Active variants (Tourneo and Transit) can be supplied in combination with the 88 kW / 120 PS EcoBlue diesel and 6-speed manual transmission with a mechanical front axle locking differential mLSD (mLSD = mechanical limited-slip differential) , which is already used in the larger active commercial vehicle models and the Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Focus ST and Ford Focus RS car performance variants. The limited slip differential was developed by Ford in collaboration with the powertrain specialist Quaife to ensure optimum traction even on paved roads.

The mLSD mechanical limited slip differential automatically distributes the drive power to the front wheel, depending on the surface, which has better traction in the current driving situation. In this way, it prevents a wheel from spinning and, in harmony with the safety and stability program ESP, supports maneuverability in demanding terrain without having a negative impact on the vehicle's fuel and thus its CO2 balance.

Both models, the Tourneo Connect Active and the Transit Connect Active, also benefit from an increase in ground clearance by 24 millimeters at the front and nine millimeters at the rear, which makes it easier to cope with uneven floors. As a result, this also leads to an elevated seating position, which guarantees the driver a better overall view.
