The world needs more relatively compact people movers. While those of us living in the United States are blessed with an almost limitless supply of square footage, our friends in Europe, Asia, South America and the rest of the world need machines that can haul people and their stuff while still fitting into the tight confines of urban life.
Enter the Ford Tourneo Custom Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/21/ford-tourneo-custom-concept-previews-new-european-people-mover/). This eight-passenger van previews the Blue Oval's next front-wheel-drive passenger van for overseas markets (not the U.S.). A trio of 2.2-liter diesel engines put out as much as 153 horsepower along with more torque than a hundred obstinate mules.
Inside its Kinetic-inspired sheetmetal sits an opulent leather-lined cabin and a full brace of technologies that include Sync, Lane Departure Warning and a Driver Alert system that lets you know when to take a break. Read all about it in the press release below (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/03/06/ford-tourneo-custom-concept-geneva-2012/#continued) and see it for yourself in our high-res image gallery of live photos from the Geneva Motor Show (http://autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show).Continue reading Ford Tourneo Custom Concept efficiently moves eight people and their stuff (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/06/ford-tourneo-custom-concept-geneva-2012/)
