The Ford Transit Connect Taxi is based on the very utilitarian Ford Transit Connect Van. The 2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi comes with an all-new 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine paired with a new, highly efficient six-speed automatic transmission. The Transit Connect will be the only taxi in America offered with a compressed natural gas and LPG engine prep package (via qualified installers).
“Ford Transit Connect Taxi has proven itself in taxi fleets across the U.S.,” said Raj Nair, group vice president, global product development. “Now, we are building on that success, offering the vehicle for sale in even more markets, including global cities like Hong Kong.”
The Ford Transit Connect Taxi has leading cargo capacity and a shape that’s conducive for extra head room.
“Ford’s second-generation Transit Connect Taxi features a lower vehicle height, providing improved roof clearance for taxicab companies to place advertising on the cabin roof. A new interior hood release gives drivers easy access to check fluid levels prior to starting a shift.
The new Transit Connect Taxi also is longer, offering seating for five and increased cargo capacity. It has an expected best-in-class 60.5 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row. The vehicle can accommodate a compressed gas tank, while still leaving ample room for luggage.” – – Ford Media
