Ford Motor Company is the unsurpassed leader in quality and safety, and we are proud of our strategic partnership. Together we are producing the safest and most economical road service vehicles in the industry.
The 2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van was designed, engineered and built to help get the job done safely. Standard features include:
The maneuverable Transit Connect Cargo Van is designed to work efficiently in tight places, especially when working in congested areas. When placing the vehicle into reverse, the rear view camera displays a video image of what’s behind the vehicle on the screen in the center stack. It also provides guidelines to help align the vehicle when reversing.
The side-curtain airbags deploy downward and outward toward the side-window opening to protect the heads of front passengers. Roll-fold technology helps the airbag slide between the glass and occupant as the airbag inflates. The Safety Canopy System is designed to stay inflated longer for added protection in a rollover.
Curve Control helps drivers maintain control when entering a curve too fast by reducing engine torque and applying four-wheel braking to reduce speed.
Standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) uses two gyroscopic sensors monitoring yaw and roll rates, helping to maintain control whenever it detects wheelslip, understeer, oversteer or roll motion. It also helps maintain control on road conditions such as ice, gravel or rain.
If the system’s sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian, a warning flashes in the instrument cluster and an audible alert sounds. Also, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. If you do not take corrective action and collision is imminent, brakes can apply automatically.
Ecomode and EcoCoach monitor fuel economy and encourage fuel-efficient driving behavior. When the Eco button is pressed to activate Eco mode, vehicle will adjust its behavior in a few different ways, all meant to improve gas mileage and driving efficiency.
Standard side-wind stabilization technology is designed to help reduce driver stress during freeway driving in high winds. The feature monitors sensors and, if a strong wind gust is detected, it carefully applies the brakes on one side to help the driver stay in the lane. It works alongside Roll Stability Control™ on slippery surfaces – to help avoid skids, lateral slides and potential vehicle rollovers.
With Auto Start-Stop Technology, the engine will automatically shut off when the vehicle comes to a stop in city driving. Air conditioning and radio stay on. The engine seamlessly restarts when your foot leaves the brake pedal.
MRSS’s proprietary products are the result of collaboration between our sales team, our customers, and our designers. We encourage input from road service providers and incorporate much of their feedback into our designs, modifying and fine-tuning to assure we produce the safest, most efficient and user-friendly lines of mobile service vehicles in the U.S.
Operator safety is our #1 priority. We are continually looking for ways to modify and improve our already innovative designs to assure maximum safety and security for our customers and their technicians.
In addition to Ford’s standard safety features, each of our vans include:
Spotlight on Safety: Watch the Video BelowThis tough polycarbonate contoured partition not only provides maximum visibility and allows for greater driver comfort, but is also sealed to prevent cargo fumes from migrating into the cabin. It is standard in all our vehicles.
Designation for custom configuration for a range of ERS light service vans.
