The Transit, introduced in July 2000, was the third all-new design, and borrowed styling cues from Ford's "New Edge" designs, like the Focus and Ka . Developed by Ford in the United States, the main innovation is that it is available in either front- or rear-wheel drive. Ford nomenclature makes this the V184 ( rear-wheel-drive ) or V185 ( front-wheel-drive ) model. This model features the "Puma"-type Duratorq turbo diesel engine also used in the 2000 Mondeo and Jaguar X-Type , with the petrol versions moving up to the 2.3 L 16-valve edition of the straight-4 engine.
The fourth-generation Transit was launched in January 2013 at the 2013 North American (Detroit) International Auto Show . In contrast to the previous generation developed in the United States (but never sold there), the fourth-generation Transit was co-designed by Ford of Europe and Ford in North America. After entering production for worldwide sale in 2013, Ford began production of the Transit in Kansas City Assembly in April 2014 for the 2015 model year. Sold worldwide by Ford for the first time, the fourth-generation Transit competes against the Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana , Mercedes-Benz Sprinter , Fiat Ducato (and its variants), and the Volkswagen Crafter .
Worldwide production of the fourth-generation Transit is sourced from two Ford facilities. All Transit production for Europe and Asia is sourced from Ford Otosan in Kocaeli Province , Turkey; this factory provides a percentage of global exports. North American and South American production is primarily sourced from Kansas City Assembly in Claycomo, Missouri ; production at the Kansas City Assembly Plant began on April 30, 2014.
