The 'Transit Show Live' events will showcase the latest technologies and features in the Transit commercial vehicle range, as well as the Fiesta van and Ranger pick-up.
"At Transit Show Live, customers will see our new showrooms and learn about the fantastic technologies such as Lane Keeping Aid and Ford SYNC, which won a Euro NCAP Advanced rewards for technology on the Transit Custom – the first for any commercial vehicle," says Terry Rayner, Transit Centres director.
Other technology systems on display will include: Ford Telematics; Load Adaptive Control, which senses the weight carried in the vehicle and adjust braking inputs via the Electronic Stability Control; and SYNC with Emergency Assistance, enabling drivers to use voice commands for MP3 players, Bluetooth-enabled phones and USB Drives.
Emergency Assistance automatically calls the emergency services on a paired Bluetooth-enabled phone if the airbag is deployed or the fuel pump deactivated.
