Ford Motor Company will introduce engine prep packages on all Transit Connect models - base and taxi - allowing conversion to efficient, clean-burning compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane (LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas). The standard model comes with a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder engine and automatic transmission. Both CNG and LPG are popular among taxi operators because of their low cost of ownership. The roomy, flexible interior of the Transit Connect - the 2010 North American Truck of the Year - is perfectly suited for taxi service and conversion to CNG and LPG. The vehicle's 135 cubic feet of cargo space accommodates a compressed gas tank (behind the second-row seat) while leaving ample passenger legroom and cargo capacity. The Ford Transit Connect Taxi will go into production and arrive in dealers in 2010 as a 2011 model.
