30 June 2021, Wednesday

Sollers Ford has started production of tanker trucks based on the Ford Transit LCV. The vehicle has joined the ranks of customised special versions and has become the 150th in the range of modifications. Ford Transit tank truck is intended for the transportation and short-term storage of liquids.

It is based on an extra-long wheelbase chassis with a GVW of 4,700 kg. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.2-litre diesel engine rated at 155 hp with a torque of 385 Nm, manual 6-speed transmission, and rear-wheel drive.

The isothermal tank is designed to carry up to 2,000 litres of food liquid. The interior flask, as well as the exterior cladding material, is made of high-quality stainless steel. The flask is insulated to prevent liquid temperatures from changing by more than 2 degrees centigrade for a period of 10 hours if the liquid has an ambient temperature difference of 30 degrees Celsius. The maintenance platform is a slotted decking with a handrail and ladder at the rear end of the tank.

Ford Transit is available to order at any Transit Centre in Russia. Price of the vehicle starts from RUB 3,174,000 depending on the customer’s preferences.

Ford Transit is in demand in all areas of business, thanks to its quality, reliability, ease of maintenance and low cost of ownership, while the cost of vehicle maintenance is one of the lowest in the segment.
