Ford cars have long been very popular in the car market. Ford has presented many excellent series, including the Ford Transit. If you want to become the owner of a car from this series, you will probably be interested in the fuel consumption of the Ford Transit, as well as its other technical characteristics: engine size, its power, and so on.
Briefly about the Ford Transit series
Models of this series have become widely known all over the world for a long time. The company first started making them in 2000. It has a lot of different types of car body. Here you can find minivans, vans, pickups, and even school buses.
Many motorists opt for the Ford Transit. And this is quite justified, since the gasoline consumption of the Ford Transit is relatively small. The fuel consumption of a Ford Transit per 100 km, like that of cars of other series, depends on many factors, for example, where the car drives: in the city, on the highway, or I mean the combined cycle. And the quality of all elements of the body and internal filling is very high.
Buses
Let's pay your attention to the school bus model TST41D-1000 with tdci engine and rear wheel drive. The average gasoline consumption of the Ford Transit tst41d is small, so it is often purchased by various educational organizations to transport children. After all, with him you will not have to spend a lot of money on fuel. And yes, the price is quite reasonable.
What is inside
The interior of the car allows you to create maximum comfort for children during the trip.:
- passenger seats have seat belts;
- the location of the seat backs and armrests is adjustable;
- there are shelves for things where children can put all their school supplies;
- thermal insulation of the cabin;
- There is a heater in the cabin.
Since the car is used to transport children, much attention is paid to safety. The bus simply will not go if not all doors are closed in it. Therefore, the boarding and disembarking of children will take place in absolute safety. The car is equipped with a speed limiter, so the driver will not be able to uncontrollably accelerate to a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour.
All specifications of the Ford Transit, fuel consumption comply with GOST rules. That is why the body is made in yellow.
How much does he eat
The fuel consumption rate for a Ford Transit (diesel) in the city is approximately 9.5 liters. Gasoline consumption rates for Ford Transit on the highway are about 7.6 liters. Fuel consumption for the Ford Transit in the combined cycle is 8.3 liters. Recall that these are approximate data, the actual fuel consumption on the Ford Transit may vary depending on the driving method and fuel quality.
The light-duty van Ford Transit can be called without exaggeration the most famous car in the commercial segment. Official statistics say that for more than 50 years of production, more than 7 million cars have been produced and sold. The company managed to establish the production of Ford Transit in Turkey, Belgium, China, and Russia. The main feature of this machine is the ability to mount any superstructure on the chassis that can satisfy the needs of a wide mass of consumers.
Popularity is due not only to the variety of modifications, but also to the technological perfection of the car. Ford Transit in terms of equipment is almost in no way inferior to any modern passenger car. Today, the eighth generation of the model with diesel and gasoline engines under the hood is being produced. Due to its lightness, reliability and excellent handling, the minibus has become widespread on domestic roads. Therefore, it is important to know what is the fuel consumption of Ford Transit per 100 kilometers.
Factory fuel consumption rate
The range of Ford Transit engines is replete with variety: modifications with a volume of 2.0 to 2.5 liters are available to the buyer. For a long time, the 2.5 diesel engine with direct injection was considered the main one. But with the release of the sixth generation, new versions of the power plants were also presented: a 2-liter diesel engine with a HPRC system for 125 forces, and two years later a 2.4-liter engine with a capacity of 135 forces appeared. The manufacturer certified the following fuel consumption rate per 100 km in the urban / extra-urban cycle:
- 11.3 / 8.8 l - 2.0 l with automatic transmission;
- 11.8 / 8.5 l - 2.2 l with manual transmission;
- 12.5 / 8.9 l - 2.4 l with manual transmission;
- 13.1 / 9.4 l - 2.5 l with manual transmission.
The new Ford Transit is equipped with a 2.2 engine, which is represented by three different levels of boost - 125, 135 and 155 horsepower. The main transmission is a manual gearbox with six modes of operation. All power units available in the eighth generation of the model are equipped with a Common Rail system and comply with exhaust emission standards.
Fuel consumption Ford Transit according to owners reviews
You can buy Ford Transit for commercial needs in four variations: “van”, “bus”, “combi”, “chassis”. The first is represented by two body options and a wheelbase, the most popular and widespread, perhaps, is the well-known Jumbo modification. If we compare the latest generation with the past, we can note a number of improved vehicle parameters. For example, the body began to be constructed using high-strength boron steel. We learn about the fuel consumption for 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. Sufficiently economical and reliable car. I fill up an 80-liter tank completely, most often at Lukoil, and I go to work mostly outside the city. I can say that the tank is enough for about 900 km, so the average consumption on the highway is 8.2 liters. This is a very good indicator, because the manufacturer certified a figure of 8.8 liters. I drive carefully and never drown over 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 under refusal. With a frontal wind, the level of consumption increases - under the most unfavorable conditions, it "burns" 15 liters per 100 km within the city limits. Out of town 9-10 liters. Under normal conditions, the flow rate is fully consistent with the factory norm.
- Maxim, Tyumen. Owning various cars at one time, each time I noticed that the driving style significantly affects the level of consumption. At an average speed of 100 km / h on the highway, you can achieve the greatest efficiency - about 6.5 liters. I fill in mainly Rosneft, I like how the car behaves on this fuel.
The Ford Transit version with a 2-liter engine under the hood is notable for its good economy. Owners note that moderate consumption can be achieved through a calm driving style. At full load, an overrun of 2-3 liters is possible.
Car with 2.2 engine
- Valentin, Cheboksary. I have a 2017 Ford Transit 2.2 TDCi. It is quite difficult to find out the exact value of gasoline consumption for various reasons. But there is one reliable way that I used not so long ago. Filled up a full tank of gasoline, took a can of 20 liters for reserve, and started riding. Drove until the engine completely stalled. In general, a full tank, and this is 80 liters, was enough for me for 880 km, taking into account the calm driving style in the combined cycle.
- Sergey, Chelyabinsk. I noticed one amazing thing - the consumption on my 2016 Transit within the city is lower than on the highway. In Chelyabinsk, an average of 8 liters is fired in an unloaded state, in a partial / full load 10-11 liters, which is also below the norm. And on the highway it turns out more by 1-1.5 liters of fuel. Here's what I think could be the reason.
- Stanislav, Rostov. My car “eats” 8-9 liters according to Rostov, when it is completely “empty”. Fully loaded 10 liters maximum. If you put pressure on the trigger, you can go beyond these limits. Outside the city, 9 liters, when you drive an average of 120-130 km / h, a lot depends on the driving style and the quality of diesel fuel. In winter, in the region of 11-11.5 liters per 100 km, taking into account traffic jams and warming up.
Ford Transit owners 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 with 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, he purchased a minibus with a 2.4 140 hp engine. At first, it took a little gasoline, but gradually the figure began to increase. At 530 km, it spent a whole tank on the computer, but in fact it was at 470 km. I went to the diagnostics, the controller was reflashed, 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, Yekaterinburg. A mark in the region of 14-15 for such a machine is normal. I have such indicators in the summer, and in winter it generally reaches 19 liters per hundred. True, I have a Ford Transit on a spark, that's why these numbers. The difference between a minibus and a shed lies in drag, the aerodynamics of the second one is worse, so you need to put up 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 is enough for 760 km in summer and 700 km in winter. The maximum speed is 130 km / h, I drive both in the city and beyond. I rarely drive empty, so you can consider that this is with a partial load.
The 2.4-liter engine can be called one of the most “gluttonous” of the Ford Transit powertrain line. However, it is important to consider the modification of the car. The minibus consumes fuel within the normal range, overrun is observed in the "vans".
Car with 2.5 engine
- Andrey, Tomsk. I have a 1995 Transit with a 2.5 liter engine with 150 horsepower. Solid and reliable car with which there is no desire to part. When I got the car, it was not in the best condition. "Appetite" was immoderate - 15-16 liters at least. Decided to take transport and bring it into proper condition. I set the ignition correctly and immediately noticed significant differences. Profitability is palpable - the consumption level has dropped to the factory norm of 13/9 liters per 100 km.
- Michael, Yalta. I ride a high bus (minibus) with a 2.5 engine, I took the car in 2010 with a mileage of 220 thousand km. The box is mechanical in five steps, it fires 12-14 liters in the city, the speed is 3000, 90 km / h maximum, in winter the “appetite” increases to the limit of 16-18 liters. I rarely drive on the highway, but when I leave - 12 liters on average per 100 km.
- Nikolay, Volgograd. My driving style is far from calm, a modification with a booth, constantly loaded, we are not talking about efficiency. For every hundred kilometers, a car consumes 16.5 liters. During frosts up to 19 l. I can say that earlier, under the same conditions, the figures were 2 liters less.
The 2.5-liter version also cannot boast of efficiency. In some cases, the excess consumption is 4-5 liters, the level of fuel consumption is influenced by driving style and external factors.
The Ford Transit is an American-made commercial vehicle that has been on the assembly line since 1965. As of today, more than six million "Transits" of all seven generations have been produced. Transit is a whole family of cars with different directions. The model exists in the bodies of a van, minibus and flatbed van. The machine is produced in the USA, Europe and China.

- Alexander, Sochi. I had a lot of vans, for 20 years of driving experience I managed to drive VW T5, Lada Largus, Peugeot Boxer, VW Touran and other cars. Now I go to Transit, while the car suits. there are enough speakers, a 2.2-liter diesel consumes 10 liters / 100 km.
Fuel consumption is a determining factor in choosing any car, including Ford Transit. The budget of the owner or tenant of a commercial car and the environment directly depend on the liters of fuel spent. The efficiency of a van is influenced by a number of factors that can be conditionally divided into several categories.
Technical condition
- The higher the efficiency of the motor, the less the unit consumes fuel per unit of power. Overexpenditure threatens with any decrease in engine power.
Diesel is more economical than its petrol counterpart. For example, the norm for a 12-seat gasoline Ford Transit 2.0 is 13.5 liters per 100 km, while a diesel Ford Transit 2.4D with 14 seats consumes only 11.5 liters.
- Consumption is increased by low-quality old candles (by 5%) and a dirty air filter (by 10%). When driving on dusty roads, it is recommended to change the air filters more often.
- Problems with the brakes (in particular, sticking of the brake mechanisms on the wheels) reduce the efficiency of the Transit by 5-15%.
Van aerodynamics and weight
- The resistance of the car to the oncoming air flow depends on the wind speed, its direction and the aerodynamic characteristics of the van. Handicraft tuning of the Ford Transit exterior with the use of spoilers, rear wings, wind deflectors on the doors, etc. contributes to an increase in air resistance. At high speeds, the engine burns even more fuel. If, in addition to everything, the windows and the sunroof are opened in the car, then the air resistance will increase even more. In total, a minimum of 20% will be added to the expense. When the correct dynamic body kit is installed, aerodynamic forces press the Ford against the road, which reduces drag and, consequently, fuel consumption.
- A loaded van uses more fuel than an empty one.
Rubber
The wider the tread on the tires, the greater the friction and fuel consumption. Consumption increases when switching to winter tires, especially if they are studded. But in the winter without such footwear anywhere. Therefore, economy has to be sacrificed for safety.

Atmospheric conditions and road quality
- Fuel consumption is associated with cold weather. When the temperature drops, the operation of the motor in the warm-up mode is delayed, and these are additional costs.
- Consumption increases when driving on a primer, on a broken and wet track. Even higher consumption on an icy road. Gasoline or diesel fuel is wasted due to frequent slippage.
personality factor
The efficiency of the machine depends on:
- From driving style. In the "calm" driving mode, the consumption is less than in the "active" mode. With intensive acceleration and braking, more money is spent on fuel from the wallet. Overspending is also provided when the gas pedal is fully pressed in high gears.
- From the route of movement and the length of trips. At short distances, no more than 5-7 km between the next start and stop, the engine does not have time to warm up normally (especially in winter). As a result, in the warm-up mode, the unit operates longer, which is fraught with uneconomical consumption.
- From fuel. The engine works properly only on high-quality diesel fuel or gasoline. High-quality fuel burns as much as possible, and CO2 does not exceed the permissible values.
Fuel economy in Ford Transit
For half a century, Ford Transit has maintained the status of a recognized brand, acquiring with each new generation the best features of commercial vehicles - reliability, safety, efficiency. The company is constantly working on improving the form and internal content of cars. The result of the manufacturer's bold decisions was the release of new versions of the commercial Ford Transit with reduced fuel consumption.
The fuel efficiency improvements of the latest generation Ford Transit vehicles have been facilitated by:
- Diesel modernization. The manufacturer practically saved the Ford Transit from a gasoline engine, replacing the unit with a Duratorq TDCI turbodiesel (2.2 liters) of the Euro-4 eco-standard. To reduce fuel consumption, the diesel engine has been improved:
- 1800 bar direct injection system instead of 1600 bar. With increasing pressure, the accuracy of fuel dosing increases, which contributes to efficient and economical combustion.
- New exhaust recirculation system and new diesel particulate filter. The technology improves not only fuel efficiency, but also the environmental friendliness of the diesel engine.
The vans are equipped with:
- Power steering pump with variable flow. By reducing the flow of hydraulic fluid at high speeds, it was possible to reduce energy costs in the rear-wheel drive versions of the Ford Transit.
- A variable flow oil pump that pumps oil only when the engine "requests" it. Due to the reduction of working hours, the power consumption has decreased, and consequently, the consumption of diesel fuel.
- New VMT gearbox. In tandem with the gearbox, the Duratorq TDCI Turbodiesel uses its full potential.
- New synchronizer for a smooth transition between gears. Less vibration means less waste.
The latest generation Ford Transit received specialized systems:
- Recovery. The technology is based on the return of braking energy. The system is activated when the van is moving on the brake or coasting (with the gear disengaged). In acceleration mode or at a constant speed, electricity derived from mechanical energy feeds the generator.
- advanced battery management. This system controls the battery (battery). When the charge is over 80%, the machine instantly turns off the generator, unloading the power plant.
- Auto-Start-Stop. The system automatically turns off the engine at traffic lights and also automatically resumes the operation of the power unit, just touch the pedals.
- Speed limit technology. The system limits movement to 110 km per hour. The limiter is turned off on the panel by pressing the Eco button. The intelligent system will not allow the driver to overdo it on the highway, and at the same time ensure that the Ford Transit moves quickly and economically. This and the previous solutions are combined in a single Ford ECO Pack intelligent package.
Ford Transit Connect 2016-2017 - an example of high fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption in the models of the new version has been reduced by 34% compared to its predecessors. Diesel takes only 4 liters of fuel per 100 km, releasing 105 g of carbon dioxide per kilometer. From the innovations in Transit Connect:
- automatic adjustment of the grille - the blinds open as needed for additional cooling.
- speed limit to 100 km/h — provides the minibus with dynamic acceleration with rational fuel consumption.
In order for Ford Transit fuel consumption to be as economical as possible, you should:
- Do not overload the machine.
- Don't get carried away with the brakes.
- Comply with inspection regulations.
- Maintain Ford in good condition.
Any problems in the car will certainly result in excessive fuel consumption.
