As cool as a Courier

摘要

The ford courier name was abandoned in the early part of the millennium when the appetite for small vans began to wane. In the intervening years a rapid rise in fuel prices and greater common sense saw smaller vans increase in popularity, leaving Ford with a gap in its portfolio between the Fiestavan and the Transit Connect. Like the previous Ford Courier, the new Transit Courier van is based on the same platform as the Fiesta car - only this time it is also the basis for the Ford B-Max and EcoSport. It is part of Ford's global strategy that sees greater component sharing between cars and CVs. What that means for Courier owners is a better finished product; one that is tried and tested in passenger cars, and a van that is no longer the poor relation.
