All New 2012 Ford C-MAX Minivan

The ride is comfortable on the motorways as well as in and around town; the engines are ultra quiet, even the diesel engines. Wind noise is kept out of the cabin but some road noise does slip in but not intrusive enough to cause too much distress.

So what makes the Transit Connect an optimal vehicle for electrification? For starters, the Transit Connect is a commercial van, whose users often travel predictable, short routes with frequent stops in tight urban or suburban areas. This type of driving results in a negative impact on the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines. Also, commercial drivers generally return to a central location at the end of the day, which is perfect for recharging the battery overnight. The Transit Connect will have a targeted range of up to 130 km/80 miles on a full charge, a top speed of 75 mph, and will be rechargeable using standard European outlets. A full charge is complete in 6-8 hours. The best thing about this type of vehicle? Since it runs completely on lithium-ion batteries, it won't use any fuel, and will have ZERO exhaust emissions.
