Does anyone in the industry know if Ford are bringing out a new Tranist engine or in the procee of developing one?

also, whats the most powerful engine that Ford put in their transit nowadays?

Thanking you,

Lou

i think the most powerfull these days is the 135ps turbo diesel but they do a 2.3 16v petrol - not sure what ps/bhp they are!!

[Andrew-v4]

Petrols are 145bhp or 141bhp on gas.

apparently the mk7 will have a 145ps oil burner

[Andrew-v4]

145, is that it? Thats lagging a bit behind the 158 sprinter and 178 transporter.

according to nighthawk thats it if it's like the iveco tho you can chip em loads 166hp iveco can be chipped to around 220hp at the mo you chip the mk6's to 155ps

It is very likely that the Mk7 will have the Volve T5 2.5 turbo petrol lump same as the new Focus ST but highly restricted. There will be alot more choice on the diesel front as well. I did hear through another forum that Fords are working on an all new range of Diesel engines.
