Mark I Ford Transit
Mark I (United Kingdom Numbering) Ford Transit Minibus after facelift Ford Transit - ice cream van with a redesigned higher roof
The first real Ford Transit appeared in October 1965. At first the van was produced at the English plant. Langley, Berkshire in Berkshire, England (the former aircraft manufacturing plant that produced Hawker Hurricane fighters during World War II), but as demand outpaced the plant's capacity, production was moved to Southampton. Production of this generation was discontinued in 1978.
Transit came to replace the English one. The Ford Thames 400E is a small, mid-engine, front-wheel drive van known for its narrow track. Thames competed with similar-looking but larger English vans. Morris Commercial J4 Morris Commercial J2 and Commer PB series from Rootes Group. The UK market was then dominated by English. Bedford CA. Thames 400E was losing out to competition due to its limited loading area, which did not allow it to win a sufficient number of customers. So Ford went back to the drawing board and switched to a front-engine layout, following the course set in the 1950s by manufacturer Bedford with its well-regarded CA series vans. The revolutionary step of Henry Ford II was to combine the developments of English. Ford of Britain and English Ford of Germany to create a prototype for today's English. Ford of Europe - Previously, these subsidiaries avoided competition in each other's home markets, but were in direct competition in the rest of the European markets.
The Transit deviated from European commercial vehicles with its American design—the wide track gave a huge advantage in cargo capacity over comparable vehicles of the time. Most of the Transit's mechanical components were adapted from cars of the era. Another key to the success of the Transit is a large range of different body solutions [ source not specified 962 days
]: long and short wheelbase cargo vans, flatbeds, minibuses, crew cabs are just some of the options available.
In the UK, an English engine was used for the petrol modification. Essex V4 with a volume of 1.7 liters. and 2.0 l. By favoring relatively short V4 engines, Ford was able to minimize the extra length required by the decision to place the engine in front of the driver.[3] Another popular improvement under the bonnet of a van was an alternator, while competitors in the UK market expected buyers to be satisfied with a DC alternator[3]. A diesel engine with an effective output of 43 hp was also offered. With. (32 kW), supplied by Perkins. Since this engine was too long to fit under the Transit's hood, the diesel version had a redesigned, longer engine bay. The low-power Perkins were not in demand and were replaced by Ford in 1974 with its own York engines. For mainland Europe, the Transit had the German Ford Taunus V4 engine in two versions: Cologne 1.7 liter. and Essex 2.0 l. The long nose of the diesel conversion was also used to accommodate the Ford 3.0L engine. V6 in police and ambulance vans, and in Australia to accommodate the inline 6-cylinder engine of the Ford Falcon.
According to the show Top Gear
; English police reported that in the 1970s, 95% of all robberies in which a car was used involved this type of Ford Transit.[1]
The choice of front and rear driving axles instead of a system that includes an independent front suspension, like the English one. The Ford Thames 400E may have been seen by some as a step back in time, but on the road commentators felt that the Transit's wider track and longer wheelbase more than compensated for the obvious step back represented by the suspension choices. Drivers also praised the elimination of excessive cabin heat that resulted from placing the driver above or directly next to the engine bay in the Thames 400E and other front-wheel drive light vans of the 1950s and early 1960s.[3]

Fuel consumption of Ford Transit according to owner reviews
You can purchase a Ford Transit for commercial needs in four variations: “van”, “bus”, “combi”, “chassis”. The first is presented in two body styles and wheelbases, the most popular and widespread, perhaps, is the well-known Jumbo modification. If we compare the latest generation with the previous one, we can note a number of improved parameters of the car. For example, the body began to be constructed using high-strength boron steel. We learn about the fuel consumption of the Ford Transit 2.0-2.5 l from the reviews of the owners.
Modification 2.0
- Egor. Moscow. I have a Ford Transit minibus with a 2.0 engine. Quite economical and reliable car. I completely fill the 80-liter tank, most often at a Lukoil gas station, and travel for work mostly outside the city. I can say that the tank is enough for about 900 km, so on the highway the average consumption is 8.2 liters. This is a very good indicator, because the manufacturer certified the figure as 8.8 liters. I drive carefully and never exceed 110 km/h. In the city, about 10 liters per 100 km.
- Alexey, Voronezh. Much depends on external factors. For example, I have a Ford Transit with a booth, which often has to be loaded to failure. With a frontal wind, the level of consumption increases - under the most unfavorable conditions, it burns 15 liters per 100 km within city limits. Outside the city 9-10 l. Under normal conditions, consumption fully corresponds to the factory standard.
- Maxim, Tyumen. Having owned various cars at one time, I noticed each time that the level of consumption is significantly influenced by driving style. At an average speed of 100 km/h on the highway, you can achieve the greatest efficiency - approximately 6.5 liters. I mostly fill it with Rosneft, I like how the car behaves on this fuel.

The Ford Transit version with a 2-liter engine under the hood has good efficiency. Owners note that moderate consumption can be achieved through a calm driving style. When fully loaded, an overconsumption of 2-3 liters is possible.
Car with 2.2 engine
- Valentin, Cheboksary. I have a 2020 Ford Transit 2.2 TDCi. Finding out the exact value of gasoline consumption is quite difficult for various reasons. But there is one reliable method that I used not long ago. I filled up a full tank of gasoline, took a 20-liter canister as a reserve, and started riding. I drove until the engine completely stalled. In general, a full tank, which is 80 liters, was enough for me for 880 km, taking into account a calm driving style in the mixed cycle.
- Sergey, Chelyabinsk. I noticed one surprising thing - the consumption on my 2020 Transit within the city is lower than on the highway. In Chelyabinsk, on average, 8 liters are fired when unloaded, and when partially/fully loaded, 10-11 liters, which is also below the norm. And on the highway you get 1-1.5 liters more fuel. So I’m wondering what could be the reason.
- Stanislav, Rostov. My car “eats” 8-9 liters in Rostov when it is completely “empty”. Maximum 10 liters when fully loaded. If you put pressure on the trigger, you can go beyond these limits. Outside the city, 9 liters, when you drive on average 120-130 km/h, a lot depends on your driving style and the quality of diesel fuel. In winter, around 11-11.5 liters per 100 km, taking into account traffic jams and warming up.
Owners of a Ford Transit with a modern 2.2-liter engine note the cost-effectiveness of the modification. The van consumes less than the norm declared by the manufacturer under a calm driving style and normal operating conditions. In the winter season, the consumption level increases by 1-2 liters.
Modification 2.4
- Valery, Kursk. In 2010, I purchased a minibus with a 2.4 140 horsepower engine. At first, little gasoline was consumed, but gradually the figure began to increase. According to the computer, 530 km consumed a whole tank, but in fact it was 470 km. I went for diagnostics, they reflashed the controller, nothing has changed, the “appetite” is at the level of 14-15 liters, which does not suit me at all. I drive carefully, my driving style has always been the same, but for some reason the figure is constantly increasing, I load a maximum of 500 kg.
- Yuri, Ekaterinburg. A mark around 14-15 is normal for such a car. I have such indicators in the summer, and in winter it generally reaches 19 liters per hundred. True, I have a Ford Transit with a twin, that’s why these numbers are there. The difference between a minibus and a barn is the frontal resistance, the aerodynamics of the second one are worse, so you need to come to terms with this and not look for a problem, since in principle there is none.
- Alexey, Novokuznetsk. Minibus 2011, 16 seats, 140 horses, a full tank lasts for 760 km in summer, 700 km in winter. The speed is maximum 130 km/h, I drive both around the city and outside it. I rarely drive empty, so you can take into account that this is with a partial load.
Article on the topic: Tuning the VAZ exhaust system
The 2.4-liter engine can be called one of the most “gluttonous” of the Ford Transit line of power units. However, it is important to consider the modification of the vehicle. A minibus consumes fuel within normal limits; overconsumption is observed in vans.
Car with 2.5 engine
- Andrey, Tomsk. I have a 1995 Transit with a 2.5 liter engine with 150 horsepower. A solid and reliable car that you don’t want to part with. When I purchased the car, it was not in the best condition. The “appetite” was immoderate – 15-16 liters at least. I decided to take care of the transport and bring it into proper condition. I set the ignition correctly and immediately noticed significant differences. The efficiency is noticeable - the consumption level has dropped to the factory norm of 13/9 liters per 100 km.
- Mikhail, Yalta. I drive a tall bus (minibus) with a 2.5 engine, I bought the car in 2010 with a mileage of 220 thousand km. The gearbox is five-speed manual, produces 12-14 liters in the city, revs 3000, 90 km/h maximum, in winter the “appetite” increases to a limit of 16-18 liters. I rarely drive on the highway, but when I do, it’s 12 liters per 100 km on average.
- Nikolay, Volgograd. My driving style is far from calm, the modification with a booth is constantly loaded, there is no talk of efficiency. The car consumes 16.5 liters for every hundred kilometers. During frosts up to 19 l. I can say that previously, under the same conditions, the numbers were 2 liters less.
The 2.5-liter version also cannot boast of efficiency. In some cases, the overconsumption is 4-5 liters; the level of fuel consumption is influenced by driving style and external factors.
