Ford says that the new Fiesta Van ECOnetic returns a combined fuel economy in the European driving cycle of 76.3mpg UK which is the equivalent of 63.2mpg US and 3.7 lt/100km, with CO2 emissions of just 98g/km.
"The new Fiesta Van has already seen good sales success. Adding the new ECOnetic to the line-up will build on this," said Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain. "Overall, I expect we will sell around 2,500 Fiesta Vans a year, aiming to take around 25 per cent of the car-derived market." he added.
