The Ford Transit Chassis Cab offers unmatched flexibility for bespoke conversions, from tippers and dropsides to refrigerated vans and mobile workshops. With multiple wheelbases, drivetrain options, and body styles, it’s the ultimate foundation for your business.
The Transit Chassis Cab is engineered for adaptability. Customers can select between Single Cab and Double Cab formats, depending on crew size and usage, and choose from Front-Wheel Drive (FWD), Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD), or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) to suit driving conditions and payload requirements. The range offers three wheelbase lengths—L2, L3, and L4—ensuring ample flexibility across industries. With Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) reaching up to 4,990 kg, and pre-configured mounting points that simplify body fitting, the Transit Chassis Cab is purpose-built to be shaped around your business.
The Chassis Cab range offers a versatile mix of powertrains to suit every business need—from traditional diesel workhorses to cutting-edge electric platforms. At its core, the lineup features Ford’s proven 2.0L EcoBlue diesel engines, available in 130PS, 150PS, and 165PS outputs. These engines are engineered for durability and fuel efficiency, with Smart Acceleration Control adjusting throttle response based on payload to reduce wear and improve economy. Depending on drivetrain, customers can choose between a 6-speed manual, 8-speed automatic (FWD), or 10-speed automatic (RWD/AWD) transmission, each tuned for smooth performance and towing capability.
For businesses seeking zero-emission solutions, the E-Transit Chassis Cab delivers all-electric power with no compromise on toughness. It’s available with either a 68kWh Standard Range or 89kWh Extended Range battery, offering up to 249 miles of driving range depending on configuration. The rear-mounted electric motor produces 430Nm of torque, ensuring confident acceleration even under heavy loads. Fast charging is supported via DC rapid charging, reaching 80% in as little as 28 minutes, while Pro Power Onboard provides up to 2.3kW of mobile electricity—ideal for powering tools on site.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The Ford Transit is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assist technologies designed to protect your crew, cargo, and peace of mind. At the core is Pre-Collision Assist 2.2 with Automatic Emergency Braking, which monitors the road ahead and can intervene to help avoid or mitigate frontal collisions. Lane-Keeping Aid and Lane Centring work together to gently guide the vehicle back into position if it begins to drift, while Blind Spot Assist and Cross Traffic Alert provide added awareness during lane changes and reversing.
For added confidence in tight spaces, the Transit Chassis Cab offers a 360° camera system and Reverse Brake Assist, helping drivers manoeuvre safely around obstacles and pedestrians. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go (available on automatic models) maintains safe following distances and adjusts speed based on traffic flow, reducing fatigue on longer journeys.
Additional features include Trailer Sway Control, Roll Stability Control, and Side Wind Stabilisation, all working behind the scenes to keep the vehicle stable in challenging conditions. The Transit’s robust structure, combined with a full complement of airbags and Ford’s intelligent safety systems, has earned it a Gold safety rating from Euro NCAP, making it one of the most secure platforms for commercial conversions.
The cabin of the Transit Chassis Cab is designed for practicality, comfort, and connectivity. Standard across most models is the SYNC 4 infotainment system with a 12" touchscreen, offering wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and enhanced voice control. The instrument cluster includes a semi-digital display with key driving data, while multiple USB ports and 12V power outlets ensure devices stay charged on the go.
Seating options vary by trim and configuration. Most models feature Dark Palazzo Grey vinyl or cloth upholstery, with 2-way manual adjustment for both driver and passenger. Higher-spec variants offer 10-way power heated seats and Sensico® premium materials. The center console layout also differs—ranging from compact cupholder units to larger storage consoles with integrated gear shifters.
Additional features include manual or dual-zone climate control, cruise control with speed limiter, tilt and telescopic steering column, and interior assist handles for easier access. The cabin is built with easy-clean rubber flooring, making it ideal for work environments.
The Transit Chassis Cab’s exterior is built for durability and upfit flexibility. Standard features include:
Some features—like chrome grille surrounds, fog lamps, and 360° camera systems—are exclusive to higher trims or available via upgrade packages.
