The '''Ford Transit Connect''' is a [[Compact car|compact]] [[panel van]] sold by [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] since 2002.  Developed by [[Ford of Europe]], the model line replaced sedan-based vans ([[Ford Escort (Europe)#Sixth generation (1995–2002)|Ford Escort]] and [[Ford Courier#Europe (1991–2002)|Ford Courier]] vans) with a dedicated commercial vehicle platform.  The model line is the second-smallest vehicle of the Ford Transit range, slotted between the [[Ford Transit Courier]] LAV and the [[Ford Transit Custom]] LCV/MPV.  In line with other Ford Transit variants, passenger-oriented models (in Europe) are marketed as the '''Ford Tourneo Connect''' with side windows and rear seats.

The first and second-generation Transit Connect has been imported to North America from the 2010 model year.  To circumvent the 25% "[[chicken tax]]" on imported light trucks,<ref name="wsjtransit">{{cite news |author=Matthew Dolan |date=23 September 2009 |title=To Outfox the Chicken Tax, Ford Strips Its Own Vans |work=The Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125357990638429655}}</ref> all examples have been imported as passenger vans, with cargo vans converted to the intended configuration after their importation.  In the region, the Transit Connect does not have a direct predecessor; the closest vehicle to its size was the standard-length [[Ford Aerostar]] cargo van, which ceased production in 1997.

The first-generation Transit Connect was assembled by [[Ford Otosan]] ([[Kocaeli, Turkey]]) along with [[Ford Romania]] ([[Craiova|Craiova, Romania]]).  For the second generation, Ford of Europe shifted production to its [[Ford Valencia Body and Assembly]] facility ([[Almussafes|Almussafes, Valencia, Spain]]).  For 2022, a third generation of the Tourneo Connect was released; based on the [[Volkswagen Caddy]], the model line is assembled by Volkswagen in Poland.

The Transit Connect was introduced in Europe in October 2002 as the replacement for [[Panel van|car-derived vans]] based on the Escort and the Fiesta but as it is built on a dedicated commercial vehicle platform it is not a car-derived van itself. Production of the Escort in Europe ceased in 2000 (although the vans carried on for another two years), whilst the Fiesta Courier was also planned to be discontinued when the fifth generation Fiesta entered production in 2002. Ford elected not to develop a direct sedan delivery version of the Focus, instead pursuing a purpose-built design.

Sharing few components with the much larger [[Ford Transit|Transit]], the Transit Connect was built on a dedicated commercial vehicle platform [[Ford C170|C170]] similar to the [[Ford Focus (international)|international Ford Focus]], then common with the first generation [[Ford Focus (North America)|North American Ford Focus]].<ref name="next">{{cite web| title = Ford Imports Transit Connect from Europe| publisher = Nextautos.com, Evan McCausland| date = 2 June 2008| url = http://www.nextautos.com/body-stylesmarket-segment/minivans/08-chicago-ford-imports-transit-connect-from-europe/| access-date = 21 July 2009| archive-date = 12 October 2009| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091012023339/http://www.nextautos.com/body-stylesmarket-segment/minivans/08-chicago-ford-imports-transit-connect-from-europe| url-status = dead}}</ref> Rather than adapting an existing bodystyle into a van, the Transit Connect was designed with sliding side doors.

The Escort van and the Fiesta Courier had been assembled at the [[Halewood Body & Assembly|Halewood]] and [[Ford Dagenham|Dagenham]] plants in England, respectively, but both plants were to cease Ford car production (Halewood was to be handed over to [[Jaguar Cars|Jaguar]], whilst Dagenham was to become an engine plant only), so a new production facility was needed.

The Transit Connect was assembled by [[Otosan]] in an all-new production facility at [[Gölcük, Kocaeli|Gölcük]], near [[İzmit|Kocaeli]], Turkey.

In its first year on the North American market, the Transit Connect was awarded "North American Truck of the Year 2010" at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).<ref name=truckofyear>{{cite web

===2009 update===
Since mid-2009, the Transit Connect has been imported to the United States and Canada. First shown in the United States at the 2008 [[Chicago Auto Show]], the 2010 production model was introduced at the following year's show on 11 February 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcarfans.com/109020916871/ford-launches-all-new-2010-transit-connect-for-us |title=Ford Launches all-new 2010 Transit Connect for U.S. |date=9 February 2009 |author=Michael Gauthier |publisher=World Car Fans }}</ref>

The introduction of the North American variant coincided with a mid-cycle facelift which includes a restyled front grille, a deeper front bumper and a new dashboard featuring the switchgear and instrument pod from the [[Ford Focus (international)|C307 Focus]].

Initially, only the long-wheelbase version of the van,<ref>Ford 2010 Transit Connect brochure, ref. # 10TCONCAT</ref> outfitted with a 2.0L [[Straight-4|four-cylinder]] petrol engine and 4 speed [[Ford 4F27E transmission|4F27E]], was offered in North America; elsewhere, the 1.8L diesel engine and 5 speed [[manual transmission]] was the only available powertrain.  The 2.0L Duratec DOHC I-4 gasoline engine has 136&nbsp;hp @6300rpm, and 128&nbsp;lb.-ft. of torque @4750 rpm.  It specifies minimum 87 octane gasoline and fuel economy is 21 mpg city/27 mpg hwy and 23 mpg combined.

An electric version followed in 2011, converted by [[Azure Dynamics Corporation]] at a U.S. facility.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freep.com/article/20090209/BUSINESS01/902090358/1014/Plug-in+Ford+Transit+Connect+to+make+its+debut+in+2010 |title=Archived copy |access-date=13 April 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130627114128/http://www.freep.com/article/20090209/BUSINESS01/902090358/1014/Plug-in+Ford+Transit+Connect+to+make+its+debut+in+2010 |archive-date=27 June 2013  }}</ref>

To build interest and awareness in North America, Transit Connects specifically equipped as "mobile showrooms" were displayed at industrial parks and other venues in 13 U.S. urban areas in May 2009, with the goal of offering 3,000 test drives to small business owners.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=30371 |title=FORD TRANSIT CONNECT ACROSS AMERICA PUTS SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS BEHIND THE WHEEL &#124; Ford Motor Company Newsroom |access-date=19 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090519143402/http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=30371 |archive-date=19 May 2009  }}</ref>

With model year 2011, Ford offered the Transit Connect XLT Premium Wagon in the US and Canada, a passenger version of the van — with seating for five, rear windows that opened for ventilation, blind spot awareness, rear view camera, larger alloy wheels, body-colour grille, and front fog lamps.

The Transit Connect Wagon was the first Ford minivan since the 2007 discontinuation of the [[Ford Freestar|Freestar]], though it was closer in size to the standard length [[Ford Aerostar]] sold from 1986 to 1997.

The second generation Transit Connect was introduced on 6 September 2012 in [[Amsterdam]], Netherlands. In its first redesign since its 2002 introduction, the 2014 Transit Connect adopts many features of the [[Ford Kinetic Design|Kinetic Design]] language. A major design change is an optional rear liftgate in addition to the double doors preferred by commercial buyers and wheelchair users.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2012/12/2014-ford-transit-connect-a-people-focused-salvo-into-the-commercial-van-market.html|title=2014 Ford Transit Connect: A People-Focused Salvo into the Commercial Van Market » AutoGuide.com News|date=14 December 2012 |accessdate=2 July 2023}}</ref> The Transit Connect will include the optional new feature called MyKey, a personalized key system.

Production takes place at Valencia, Spain. As before, to avoid the 25% tariff on imported trucks, all cargo vans sold in the United States are built and shipped as passenger vans, which are then converted to cargo configuration before delivery.<ref name="Car and Driver">{{cite web|title=Car and Driver: Ford Transit Connect|url=http://blog.caranddriver.com/feds-watching-fords-run-around-on-chicken-tax-riles-customs-officials/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927002010/http://blog.caranddriver.com/feds-watching-fords-run-around-on-chicken-tax-riles-customs-officials/|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 September 2013|publisher=Car and Driver|access-date=25 May 2015}}</ref><gallery widths="200" heights="140">

The 2014 Transit Connect is powered by a 2.5-litre inline-4, or a 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4. The only transmission type available is the 6-speed 6F-35 automatic. For buyers interested in alternative-fuel vehicles, Ford offers optional hardware allowing for the 2.5-litre engine to be converted to use [[compressed natural gas|CNG]] or [[liquefied petroleum gas|LPG/propane]] instead of gasoline.<ref name="CNG/LPG">{{cite web|title=2014 Transit Connect: CNG/LPG Gaseous Engine Prep Package|url=http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitconnect-commercial/2014/features/#page=Feature23|publisher=Ford Motor Company|access-date=2 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016064842/http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitconnect-commercial/2014/features/#page=Feature23|archive-date=16 October 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

When sold in the United States, the Tourneo Connect bears the "Transit Connect Wagon" moniker, available in two wheelbases, and with a choice of 5 or 7-passenger seating. The latter configuration is the first 7-passenger minivan sold by Ford since the 2007 discontinuation of the [[Ford Freestar]] and Mercury Monterey.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/13/ford-shows-off-2014-transit-connect-wagon-confirms-cargo-model/|title=Ford shows off 2014 Transit Connect Wagon, confirms cargo model for Detroit|website=Autoblog|access-date=18 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transit/2014/ |title=The New 2014 Ford Transit Commercial Vans &#124; the Biggest Transformation of the Full-Size van in 50 Years &#124; Ford.com |access-date=17 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121214130550/http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transit/2014/ |archive-date=14 December 2012  }}</ref>{{update after|2020|2|26}}

=== 2019 facelift ===
For the 2019 model year, the Transit Connect underwent a mid-life update, receiving updates to the front fascia, with the interior receiving a redesigned dashboard.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|url=http://www.motortrend.com/news/2019-ford-transit-connect-cargo-van-first-look/|title=2019 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van First Look|date=7 March 2018|website=Motor Trend Canada|language=en-US|access-date=26 February 2019}}</ref>  Retaining the multiple wheelbases and body heights from its 2014 launch, the facelifted model replaces the 2.5L engine with a 2.0L direct-injection I4 (the 2.5-litre engine remains an option for LPG/CNG conversion).<ref name=":2" />  At the launch of the model facelift, a 1.5L [[EcoBlue]] diesel engine was announced; both engines were paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.  In July 2019, after several delays, production of the diesel Transit Connect was abandoned for North America.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28337911/ford-transit-connect-diesel-dead/|title=Ford Cancels Plans for a Diesel-Powered Transit Connect Van in the U.S.|first=Joey|last=Capparella|date=9 July 2019|website=Car and Driver|access-date=18 September 2021}}</ref>

===Safety and recall===
In 2017, Ford recalled 2013–2015 Transit Connect with 1.6 EcoBoost engines because of a risk of engine fires caused by a “lack of coolant circulation”. The recall partly contributed to a charge of US$300 million by Ford.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lynch |first1=Jim |date=29 March 2017 |title=Ford recalls 230,000 cars over potential engine fires |work=The Detroit News |url=http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2017/03/29/ford-recall/99771750/ |access-date=1 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Krisher |first1=Tom |date=29 March 2017 |title=Ford recalls 570,000 vehicles for engine fire risk, door latch trouble |work=The Globe and Mail |agency=AP |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/ford-recalls-570000-vehicles-for-engine-fire-risk-door-latch-trouble/article34471584/ |access-date=1 April 2017}}</ref>

== Tariff circumvention ==
As the Transit Connect is a light truck assembled outside of North America, Ford imports the first and second-generation Transit Connect into the United States as a passenger vehicle, equipping it with rear side windows, rear seats (and rear seat belts) in an effort to circumvent the [[chicken tax|25% tariff]] on imported [[light trucks]],<ref name="wsjtransit" /> as imported passenger vehicles were subject to a lower 2.5% tariff.  The first-generation vehicles were exported from Turkey to Baltimore on cargo ships owned by [[Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics]].  Upon their arrival, cargo examples of the Transit Connect were converted into commercial vehicles at a WWL Vehicle Services Americas Inc. facility.  With the exception of Transit Connect Wagons, rear windows on Transit Connects were replaced by metal panels and rear seats/seatbelts were deleted; the removed parts were recycled.<ref name="wsjtransit" />

The process exploited a perceived loophole in the customs definition of a commercial vehicle.  As cargo does not need seats with seat belts or rear windows, presence of those items exempted the vehicle from ''commercial vehicle'' status.  While the conversion cost Ford hundreds of dollars per vehicle, the company saved thousands of dollars over paying the tariff.<ref name="wsjtransit" />  To streamline the process, Ford only exported the long-wheelbase, high-roof Transit Connect to North America. With a height of 79 inches, the model line was only an inch lower than the lowest-height E-Series van, precluding its access to lower-height parking garages.<ref name="Autoblog">{{cite web |date=13 November 2012 |title=2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon brings minivans back to the Blue Oval |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/13/2014-ford-transit-connect-wagon-brings-minivans-back-to-the-blue/ |access-date=19 November 2012}}</ref>

For the second generation of the model line, Ford shifted production of the model line from Turkey to Spain, but continued to rely on imported production as a source for the Transit Connect in North America.  In 2013, US Customs told Ford that they must stop this practice of importing vans disguised as passenger cars.<ref name="ibtimes.com">{{cite web |date=29 June 2015 |title=Is The 'Chicken Tax' On The Chopping Block?

The court determined that the Ford Transit Connect was a vehicle for the transportation of cargo.<ref>{{cite web|website=cafc.uscourts.gov
|url=http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions-orders/18-1018.Opinion.6-7-2019.pdf |title=Court document|access-date=2 July 2023}}</ref>

Since 2019 production, the conversion process of Transit Connects has undergone major revision.  While all vehicles are still imported from Spain as passenger vehicles and converted to cargo vans (a process that happens to approximately 85% of Transit Connects imported to North America),<ref name=":2" /> the conversion no longer involves the disposal/recycling of the removed parts; instead, the removed rear seats and rear window components are shipped back to Ford in Spain for reuse.<ref name=":2" />

== Discontinuation in North America ==
Ford initially planned to release the third-generation Transit Connect in North America as a potential 2024 model.  Alongside the redesign of the model line, production was to be relocated from Valencia, Spain, to [[Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly]] in Mexico, with Ford assembling a new Transit Connect along the [[Ford Bronco Sport|Bronco Sport]] and the [[Ford Maverick (2022)|Maverick]].<ref name=":5">{{cite web |date=23 August 2022 |title=Ford Transit Connect Going Away Because America Won't Buy Small Vans: Report |url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/ford-transit-connect-going-away-because-america-wont-buy-small-vans-report}}</ref>  The move would have ended all issues related to importation tariffs (as Mexico and Canada are exempt).   

Though the model line held a significant market share of the small commercial van segment, it followed a significant decline of small van sales overall (coupled with the discontinuation of the [[Nissan NV200]] and [[Mercedes-Benz Vito|Mercedes-Benz Metris]]), leading Ford to end sales of the Transit Connect in North America after the 2023 model year.<ref>{{cite web |date=23 August 2022 |title=Dead van Walking? Ford Transit Connect Reportedly Disconnected |url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-transit-connect-discontinued-report/}}</ref><ref name=":5" />  As of current production, the smallest Ford van sold in North America is the Transit T150 regular length, low-roof (the [[Ford Transit Custom|Transit Custom]] is not sold in the United States or Canada).

==Fleet usage==
=== Grumman LLV replacement ===
[[File:Ford Transit Connect.jpg|thumb|Ford Transit Connect of Canada Post]]
In 2010, [[Canada Post]] selected the Ford Transit Connect, purchasing a fleet of 1,175 units to replace a large portion of its [[Grumman LLV]] vehicles.<ref>Ford Motor Company Press Release, [http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=32230 "Canada Post Selects Ford Transit Connect to Replace Aging National Fleet of Light Vehicles,"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100719163146/http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=32230|date=19 July 2010}} 18 March 2010.</ref>  In contrast to its LLV predecessor, the Canada Post Transit Connects are left-hand drive (though Ford does produce the Transit Connect for RHD markets).

===Taxicab===
[[File:NYC taxi of tomorrow 2014 NY Auto Show.jpg|thumb|right|Ford Transit New York City's [[Taxicabs of New York City#2010s – Taxi of Tomorrow|Taxi of Tomorrow]].]]
In fleet (taxi) applications, Ford markets the Ford Transit Connect Wagon as a replacement for the [[Ford Crown Victoria|Ford Crown Victoria P70]] (discontinued in 2011).  For taxi use, the rear seat is shifted several inches rearward (both to increase legroom and to allow fitment of a partition); a third-row seat is not offered.  Other features include rear-seat climate controls and [[school bus yellow]] paint.<ref>{{cite web |title=2013 Ford Transit Connect XLT Wagon Premium &#124; the 2013 Ford Transit Connect XLT Wagon Premium &#124; Ford.com |url=http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitconnect-commercial/trim/xltwagonpremium/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130507045245/http://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/transitconnect-commercial/trim/xltwagonpremium/ |archive-date=7 May 2013 |access-date=22 November 2012}}</ref>

During the 2010s, New York City adopted the Transit Connect as an accessible cab; it also has replaced the Crown Victoria in multiple large American municipalities with organized taxicab services.  {{clear}}

===Tourneo Connect===
The '''Ford Tourneo Connect''' is a [[leisure activity vehicle]] produced by [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]], which was first put into production in 2002 to the British market. Much like the Tourneo is a passenger version of the Transit, the Tourneo Connect was designed with rear windows and seats. Principally termed a commercial vehicle, Ford predicted relatively low sales of between 800 and 1000 mainly to [[taxicab|taxi]] operators, due to its given status as a commercial vehicle. However, Ford described the Connect as a 'dual use' vehicle, equally able to meet business and leisure needs. It was put into production to rival the similar models of the [[Renault Kangoo]], [[Mercedes-Benz Citan|Mercedes Citan]], [[Citroën Berlingo]], [[Citroën Berlingo|Peugeot Partner]], [[Volkswagen Caddy]], [[Fiat Doblò]] and the [[Opel Combo|Opel/Vauxhall Combo Tour]].

The Connect, when first sold, was the only vehicle of its kind to offer folding and separately removable 60/40 split rear seats that allowed multiple seating formations and increased load capacity. It also boasted the option of twin sliding side load doors as well as rear doors or a tailgate, whereas neither of its main competitors have this option. The Connect's design emphasizes Ford's ideal that the vehicle be multipurpose.<gallery mode="packed">
