Next-generation Ford Transit to launch in September to create "talented people" for any scenario

The new light passenger product that Jiangling introduced in China is the new generation of Ford Transit, which will be officially launched in September this year.

We can say that the most outstanding feature of the JMC Ford Transit T8 is the power, reliability and handling of the latest generation light bus platform, while at the same time it strengthens the carrying capacity and improves the level of intelligence.

It should be noted that a light passenger can use either a load-bearing body or a non-load-bearing body. The former has better comfort and is used more in passenger-carrying models; the second has a stronger carrying capacity and is mostly used in models carrying cargo. JMC Ford Transit T8 combines the advantages of both; so that the load-bearing body not only maintains good comfort, but also improves the load-bearing capacity, and is also dual-purpose and modified for customers and goods. It has been understood that the maximum load carrying capacity of the JMC Ford Transit T8 has been increased to 5.25 tons, reaching the load limit of the light passenger vehicle with a carrier body.

Higher payload naturally requires stronger power and better handling. According to reports, the JMC Ford Transit T8 is equipped with a fifth generation Ford PUMA 2.3T diesel engine with a maximum power of 175 horsepower and a maximum torque of 430N, meeting the needs of vehicles in road conditions and more scenarios. In terms of reliability and durability, this van adopts Ford's global product development system; The durability standard reaches 2.5 times the industry standard, and the corrosion resistance standard reaches 1.5 times the industry standard. The chassis electronic and electrical architecture and vehicle network system are independently developed by Jiangling Motors. It has ADAS driving assistance functions at L2.5 level and 20 kinds of intelligent driving assistance functions, 9 of which are industry-specific to the same level. ; first twin-engine EPB/Autohold (automatic parking), 5 ton single cylinder 54 mm, electronically controlled parking brake capable of reaching 30% gradient (general road gradient 9%-13%); Equipped with 5G network technology.

Not only that, to meet the "multifunctional" modification needs, JMC Ford Transit T8 has reserved multiple interfaces, which can meet various post-modification needs such as power (engine), hardware (modification equipment) and signal.

It appears that Jiangling Ford Light Bus has approved and authorized 10 repair factories. The caravan renewed by the new generation Ford Transit will be presented to the market simultaneously with the chassis.
