Super-frugal, stylish
and 'green', the new Fiesta Van ECOnetic is now on sale at £11,635.
Compared with the previous-generation, Fiesta Van ECOnetic will use 35
gallons less fuel in an average year – offering genuine savings in daily
driving. |

The new
Fiesta Van ECOnetic proves form can exist with function and offers the
same style that has made the Fiesta the UK's favourite small car. With
lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres and a
specially-calibrated Duratorq 1.6-litre TDCi with coated diesel
particulate filter, the Fiesta Van ECOnetic emits an ultra-low 98g/km CO2.

Produced at Ford's
wind-powered engine plant at Dagenham, Essex, the ECOnetic 90PS
1.6-litre Duratorq TDCi produces 10 per cent less CO2 than
the already impressive mainstream TDCi unit and is matched to
aerodynamic improvements to deliver just 98g/km CO2 and a
Combined 76.3mpg.*
Steve Kimber, commercial vehicles director, Ford of Britain, said:
"Fiesta Van has always been popular with fleet operators and that's sure
to develop further with the arrival of the ECOnetic. It makes a
statement as soon as you see it and we know that whilst professionals
are keen to 'go green', it's just as important for them to leave a good
impression with their clients. Pulling up in this latest Fiesta Van says
it all.
"New Fiesta Van has
already seen good sales success. Adding the new ECOnetic to the line-up
will build on this. 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.

Sustainability has
influenced not only new Fiesta Van’s development but also the facilities
in manufacturing. Ford’s Dagenham Diesel Centre produces Duratorq TDCi
engines for all new Fiesta versions and derives its electricity from
renewable sources, using two dedicated wind turbines.
