Between the Taurus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/taurus/)-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/explorer/)-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/) and Expedition (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/expedition/) special service vehicles, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/transit/) van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.

This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager.
