Ford Ready To Launch Its Frugal New Fiesta Van

摘要

Ford's new car-derived Fiesta van carries up to 515kg of payload and can do up to 67.3mpg. It has 1m~3 of loadspace, a maximum useable load length of 1,296mm, a height of up to 806mm and a maximum load-box width of 1,278mm (1,000mm between the wheel arches). A half-height composite bulkhead and tie-down hooks are standard. There are three engine options: a 60kW/1.25-litre petrol; a 1.4-litre turbo diesel developing 50kW; and a 66kW/1.6-litre turbo diesel with a closed-loop coated diesel particulate filter. Combined-cycle fuel efficiency is 49.6mpg with the petrol and 67.3mpg with the diesels. The Fiesta gets Ford's 'EasyFuel' cap-less refuelling system, which also stops the wrong filler nozzle being inserted.
