Ford present in the Salon Chicago , a model that does not surprise you with its spectacular performance, quite the contrary. Model which I refer is andalusia andalusia Electric Transit Connect , a van that is known in Europe , but it is a novelty for all Americans.
As we see in this picture has a minor alteration in the front, where it now gets a grille and larger air intake. But we also pass a new wheel.
As I said earlier, this model really changed much in USA , as it is presented as a very tempting offer, and with an engine that was highly requested by the public and American government.
The engine in this model (the conventional version) will be a 2.0 liters Duratec 136 hp gearbox with a four-speed automatic. Its consumption is 11.7 and 9.8 l/100 km in city and highway respectively. Its payload of 725 kg.
But the engine that we care, electricity, was developed with the same Smith Electric Vehicles , an English company that has long worked with Ford . This could have (no official figures) 50 kW, a speed of 112 km / h, and in the case of batteries, they might be lithium iron phosphate (24 kWh), with 160 km of autonomy.
This, in addition to the Focus of Magna , the second model is that market power in the signature USA .
