Ford Shows New LPG Transit from Every Angle at Commercial Vehicle Show
BIRMINGHAM, 30 April 2002 – Visitors to the Ford stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, Birmingham, were the first members of the public to see Ford's new liquefied petroleum gas, 2.3-litre, short wheel base Ford Transit.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is available on 16 Ford Transit van models, short, medium and long wheel base, and all feature underfloor LPG tanks. All come with a three year manufacturer's/100,000 mile warranty including the LPG equipment.

Environmental benefits of LPG include a potential 50 per cent reduction in tail pipe emissions and a reduction of 15-20 per cent in CO2 emissions. Ford LPG Transit currently meets European Emissions Levels Stage IV and consequently qualify for a 60% subsidy on the LPG equipment from the Energy Savings Trust. Compared to diesel engines, the LPG bi-fuel system provides a quieter and cleaner engine – up to 60 per cent quieter than diesel equivalents.
There are more than 1000 LPG fuel stations in the UK. LPG is approximately half the price of diesel or unleaded petrol, making it a good business proposition for operators in the UK.
With LPG now a regular sight at fuel pump forecourts and offering a saving of £15-£20 per 1000 miles, there has never been a better time to switch to LPG Ford Transit. In fact, with the 60% LPG engine grant Transit LPG is now the same price as a Diesel Transit, and consequently allows the savings to be made from the first turn of the wheel.
The Ford LPG Transit has a range of about 200 miles on a tankful of LPG. The new short wheel base, 2.3-litre petrol/LPG Ford Transit starts at £15,900 retail Price excl VAT and delivery for the 300 SWB van.
