Ford has announced the launch prices in Romania for the Transit Courier and Tourneo Courier, two compact models that are manufactured at the Ford Otosan plant in Craiova, Romania. The Ford Transit Courier is a versatile and efficient van that can carry up to 660 kg of payload, while the Ford Tourneo Courier is a spacious and comfortable MPV that can seat up to five passengers. Both models are based on the same platform as the Ford Fiesta and offer a range of petrol and diesel engines, advanced technologies and features.
Ford Transit Courier: A Smart Solution for Urban Delivery
The Ford Transit Courier is the smallest member of the Ford Transit family, but it offers a big load space of 2.3 cubic meters, which can accommodate items up to 2.59 meters long thanks to the clever load-through bulkhead.
