Transit Connect Accessories for Ultimate Performance

The Ford Transit family is well-known worldwide. When it comes to white vans in the UK, the first name that comes to mind is Transit. The reason they are so well known is obvious when you look at the number of vans and customisation for them that is available. Their reliability and variety is unmatched. Today we will focus on the many Transit Connect Accessories available to enhance performance, stowability, organisation, and more of your Ford Van.

Performance On and Off-road

Though typically not thought of as accessories, Ford Transit has several things that can be added to improve the performance of your van, both on the road and off the beaten path. These include the iconic limited-slip differential and Intelligent all-wheel drive — both are made to allow for better control and traction. Other accessories that can help with performance include the ARB high output air compressor. Designed to inflate flat tyres, this air compressor is made of high-grade materials and made to last. You can simply put it in your cargo area so that you are never stuck off-road without it. For those long trips or to enable your Connect to be more fuel efficient you can have an extended range fuel tank installed on most models.

Transit Connect Accessories for Conversion

Taking your van off-road is what the Ford Transit was made for. What better reason to take your Transit Connect off-road than to go camping! The Connect can be converted into a camper with several Transit Connect Accessories including an oven, sink, portable toilet, bed, and plenty of different lighting options. With the highest roof setting and longest length, the Connect has plenty of room to make this van a complete home on wheels.

Stowability and Cargo

When it comes to storage, Ford has so many options that we can talk about them for days. One of the best accessories available is the chiller or freezer conversion kits. These allow you to haul everything from flowers to meat while holding temperatures between -25 to 38° C. Another great accessory is the roof rack. Though this is standard on some models, for others it is an option that will add much needed space. There is also a bike rack option that can be mounted to the roof or tow-bar. For people who like to travel the trails, having a bike to go where your van will not is ideal. The bike rack will hold up to four bicycles so you can cater to the entire family’s adventure capabilities. Speaking of adventure, there is also a rack that is perfect for your canoe. The canoe rack is designed to safely transport your canoe on the roof with an easy load ramp sides, padding, load straps, quick tie-downs, and buckle bumpers. Enjoy a pleasant or thrill filled ride down river after your smooth drive into the great outdoors.

Exterior

This is another topic we could discuss all day. Let’s start small. To protect your van from bugs, rocks, and other debris, you can outfit your van with hood and window deflectors. Are you planning on carrying pipes or other objects that could bust a window if it hits hard enough? Ford has you covered with high-strength steel back window grills. To light up your area, Ford has a basket mounted light bracket by Yakima that can be mounted to the roof and hold any style, size, or type of light you may need for all your off-road and night adventures.

Up next is more Transit Connect Accessories for van life. Your Connect can come equipped with a portable shower or awning that can be easily attached or set up outside once you arrive at the place you will be camping. The Overland shower stall comes with a solar shower bag to make cleaning yourself a joy and give you that bit of privacy you need to change. The genuine Ford awning by Yakima is a great addition for camping; it can be easily attached to the side of your van and then stored on the roof rack when not in use.

Interior

When it comes to the interior of your van, you can get Transit Connect Accessories ranging from cargo protectors to lighting and even seats. Water and stain resistant cargo mats are great to protect your cargo area floors from scratches or dings. The mat is designed to be installed and removed without tools if you wish. For concealment of your cargo, you can get a security shade that instals over your laid and behind the second row of seats. This shade can easily be folded to store when not in use. For even more cargo protection, there is also a cargo net to keep all of your packages and other items from spilling throughout your van. You can even get an organiser for your cargo area that comes complete with adjustable and removable built-in bins and a mat, to keep your cargo area orderly.

Security and Electronics Accessories

One of the most popular Transit Connect Accessories for any Ford Transit van or fleet is the Ford Sync3 opens up so much control, entertainment, safety, and functionality. With the Sync3, you can have up to 5 devices connected to built-in Wi-Fi, remote start and lock or unlock your van, monitor the health and location, and much more. It truly is a must-have for everyone! Continuing with safety, there is a variety of security systems and cameras that can be added to your Connect. Also, you can add smart features and parts like the rear bumper mounted sensor that tells you when you are ready to back into an object, so you can stop before you hit it.

New Ford Ranger Engine

The New Ford Ranger always lost out to the New VW Amarok due to the lack of a decent V6.
The Amarok was always much better off road and was just more nimble and agile until now. No one can complain at the New Ford Rangers Performance

Almost all the new rangers are available with an 8 speed or 10 speed automatic gearbox at no extra charge.

Transit Custom to Cut Your Cold Chain Costs

Ford’s trusty stalwart, the Transit Custom, is a must for many businesses across the nation. It has evolved over the years and its foray into electric vehicles is further evidence of this.

Electric vehicles are slowly gaining in popularity with van owners across the UK, for varying reasons. For some it’s because of their potential to save precious pounds in fuel spend. Others are attracted to their reduced negative impact on the environment, the ability to attract more green-conscious customers to their business, their relatively quiet engines, or any combination of the above.

Their appeal may only grow in future given the energy crisis facing the country.

Unpredictable petrol and diesel supply, and volatile fuel prices are a serious concern for consumers and businesses. So too is the legislation banning the sale of new conventional petrol/diesel vehicles in the UK as of 2030.

For many people, going fully electric is daunting, with their power, and range in question. This is where the many advantages of a hybrid vehicle may come into play (This extends to chiller and freezer vans, but more on that later).

Back to Ford Transit Custom

Ford’s Transit Custom 2.0L EcoBlue 130ps (with a diesel engine) is built to improve fuel efficiency, thereby cutting running costs, and reduces carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

This van is available in manual or automatic transmission, with various wheelbase, roof height and trim options available. Gross vehicle weights range from 2600kg to 3400kg and payloads from around 700kg to 1 500kg. Air-conditioning is optional.

Fuel is saved due to reduced load on the diesel engine and an enhanced auto start-stop function, which works even when the van has halted but is still in-gear, or it’s decelerating under 12km/h.

Best of all, as it’s a hybrid engine, it does not need to be charged. When the driver hits the brakes or decelerates, energy is captured and stored in a 48V 10Ah lithium-ion battery pack. Ford says the “electrical machine provides torque assistance to the diesel engine and drives electrical ancillaries”.

For the environmentally-conscious, besides the obvious reduced carbon emissions, the diesel engines have an AdBlue tank fitted, which cuts down nitrogen oxide particulate emissions.

So that’s the basic hybrid van. Here’s how it would be customized to be a chiller or freezer:

Transit Custom Chillers

A chiller van is used to move perishable goods needing to be kept at medium temperature ranges, such as beverages, bread, cold meat, flowers, and certain pharmaceutical products, among others, usually over short distances. These goods need to be chilled, but not frozen, at a range of 0°C to 8°C to preserve their quality and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

To customize a Ford Transit Custom into a chiller van, customize your vehicle to meet the requirements of the Chill Specifications and you will get Direct Drive refrigeration unit installed (GAH RC300). is fitted, with at least 50mm insulation and Paneltex Somers chiller door mouldings. Insulation may include polystyrene foam or Styrofoam for example.

Transit Custom Freezers

For goods that need to be kept frozen and have the option to travel greater distances, a transit custom freezer van is required. These vans carry low-temperature goods such as ice-cream and frozen food at a range of -18°C to -25°C.

Depending on temperature needs, transit custom freezer vans will have varying insulation thicknesses up to 100mm, freezer units reaching varying temperatures up to -25°C and even reinforced, heat-resistant sides and doors. It may also include features that enable quick defrosting.

To customize a Ford Transit Custom into a freezer unit, get your vehicle customized in accordance with Freezer Specification where Direct Drive refrigeration unit would be fitted (GAH SRF350), along with a patented direct air system that boosts both miles per gallon and the fridge unit’s efficiency. At least 75mm insulation is added to the van; with thermal efficient composite construction; seamless, durable glass reinforced plastic lining; and Paneltex freezer-door mouldings.

Freezer vans can be adapted to have several loading compartments, with different temperature settings, enabling different goods to be transported simultaneously.

Improved insulation and having rear pod doors can add further energy efficiency to the freezer and chiller vans.

Make it your own

You can then also kit out your Transit Custom with any of the six trim options, including Leader, Trend, Limited, Trail, Active, and Sport.

For van owners who really want to stand out from the crowd or have added comfort for their drivers, their vans can be customised further with standalone extras (think interiors like carpeting, and more), or Swiss Vans’ upgrade styling packs, which include: WASP, WASP ICE, Hornet, or Super Hornet. These packs may include 18″ and 20″ alloys wheels in various styles, sidebars, front splitters, rear spoilers, sidebars, roof styling rails and even interior leather, depending on the pack you choose.

Down to business

Swiss Vans has a wide range of new and used Ford Transit Custom hybrid vans for sale, or for hire. We offer streamlined contracts, processing and delivery times; customised plans; and great stock. Check out our website for the latest deals on offer.

Selecting the right vehicle for your cold chain business is vital and the choices may be daunting. Space is a serious consideration given the needed insulation, and this is but one area we can advise you on.

We, at Swiss Vans, are available to take you through your options, assist however we can and help you select the best van – and features – for the job. Give us a call today!

2 Year Waiting List On Defender Vans

The Land Rover Hard Top – A Stylish and Functional Vehicle

Considering buying an unstoppable car that gives a blend of off-road capability, durability, and quality?

You don’t need to look any further, as Swiss Vans brings you brand new Land Rover Hard Top. It has great versatility with modern technology without any sacrifices to power. These cars are available in both the 90 and 110 body styles.

Able to be customized and use powerful, efficient engines, as well as having an advanced suspension system, the Hard Top is a commercial version of the Defender, featuring exceptional capabilities.

The Land Rover Hard Top

Hard Top, this name originated from 1950s while Land Rover’s Series 1 Soft-Top was introduced with a detachable hard top load covering. The newest model of Defender Hard Top van features comfort, entertainment and a new level of convenience. Easy to drive, it is packed with valuable technological features, it’s the best 4WD van money can buy. Your new Hard Top is provided with wade sensors as well as 3D surround cameras.

The steering of the Defender Hard Top is flawlessly weighted, and the 4×4 drive system offers remarkable grip while on the road. Consequently, the Hard Top is far better than its predecessor on the road.

Never want to have a noisy car? Have no worries at all, for the new Hard Top, road and engine noise levels are exceptionally low. It means you can drive it with peace of mind while you are on the way.

Land Rovers are heavy vehicles that can be used for off-roading or to transport cargo. They have a high clearance (height) because they’re designed to travel over rough terrain. They have four-wheel drive and are equipped with powerful engines that allow them to go fast on highways or dirt roads.

Differences between models

It is crucial for consumers to know that there are two models of the Land Rover Hard Top. The first is the Freelander, which is smaller, sleeker, and has a lower price tag. The second is the Range Rover, which is larger with a higher price tag. The comparison between these two models will depend on the nature of the consumers. For those who want to buy an affordable vehicle, the Freelander is perfect.

However, if someone wants something larger or more luxurious in general, then the Range Rover would be better suited for them. If you are not sure which option is better for you then it is always wise to get advice from some expert. Swiss Vans is there for you to advise you to get hands on a vehicle that best suits your needs whilst considering your options to lease or finance your beloved Hard Top.

Things to consider when purchasing a Land Rover Hard Top

What kind of terrain will you be driving on? If you live in an area with snow or rain, you may need special tires designed for those conditions. Do you plan to drive off-road? Then make sure your vehicle has at least four-wheel drive capability, which will help it get traction on steep inclines or other less-than-smooth surfaces. Lastly, check the weight capacity of your van. You’ll want a vehicle that can handle the weight of the gear you plan to put inside, so take measurements before deciding on a specific model.

The best way to decide what is right for you is by understanding how each type operates: a hard top vs soft top, a diesel vs gas/petrol engine (diesel offers more torque), and such. We know these questions can seem overwhelming when you’re just starting out but don’t worry; we have plenty of finance options available and leasing options if monthly payments are too high. Plus, our rental option gives you the opportunity to test drive different types of vehicles without buying them outright.

And as always, we offer posh customized vans for a more luxurious experience and electric vans if you care about preserving the environment.

Find independence and adventure on the open road

The Land Rover Hard Top combines the space, style, and comfort of a compact car with powerful high performance at an affordable price point. The Land Rover Hard Top is a genuine all-rounder: a fully functioning terrain vehicle when you really need it, and a perfectly good car when you don’t.

Moreover, it’s a highly desirable vehicle, meaning used values are predicted to be very strong. This doesn’t only mean that it should be worth plenty in case you wish to sell it. And there is always help available for monthly finance pricing, so you could find finance or leasing much cheaper than you expected.

This is the perfect vehicle for getting down to your allotment every Sunday morning to drive across Europe in search of your next adventure.

In fact, if we were heading off on an expedition tomorrow, there are very few cars we’d consider taking other than a Land Rover Hard Top.

Customization Options

Swiss Vans provides a wide range of customization options for all hard top models, including luxury interior upgrades, entertainment systems, exterior modifications, and more. Whether you’re looking for a customized Land Rover or want to make your current vehicle look like new again with some new parts, Swiss Vans has the perfect solution for you. To learn more about our services or what’s available in our showroom today, please reach out to us.

Almost 50% of van drivers risk a £200 and 6 penalty points for using SatNav on a smart phone.

Research from 1,000 UK van drivers has found that 46 per cent of them use an app on their smartphone but may still be at risk of breaking the law following the introduction of new rules from January 2022

New laws state that it is illegal to touch your device (designed to prevent a loophole that allowed taking photos or scrolling on social media) While it is still legal to use sat nav on your mobile phone, it must be secured to the dashboard or windscreen and it must not block your view.

In additions to the law, you must also have hands-free access, such as a Bluetooth headset, voice command, or limited integration with the on-board infotainment system, with police able to stop you if they see you are distracted by the phone.

93 per cent of van drivers reportedly use a sat nav system yet despite so many keying in a destination before setting off, the research found that half don’t always listen to the instructions, instead preferring to take their own shortcuts and ignoring the advice of the technology – even though current generation sat navs offer real-time traffic updates to divert around road closures or congestion.

Just seven per cent of drivers are not using any type of sat nav systems and rely on local knowledge or maps to complete their daily trips. Mosts customised vans come with smart phone integration.

David Hanna, Head of Sales Operations at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, commented: “We know that van drivers rely on sat navs to get them from one job to the next, but it’s important they do so legally. No matter which app or device you prefer for your directions, we have the technology in our award-winning range of vehicles to get you from A to B in a way that best suits you, while ensuring both yourself and other road users are safe.”

Research from 1,000 UK van drivers has found that 46 per cent of them use
