Hi everyone, I need your help with the Chinese "Ford Transit".
[...]
Since 2008, they are not called "News Transit"? [...]
According to JMC's corporate site
(1), the
New Generation Transit name (not "
New Transit"
(2)) was indeed apparently used at the beginning to promote the 2008+ Ford-JMC equivalent of the (European) 3rd generation Ford
Transit while the 2008+ JMC models using the old design were renamed
Transit Classic (see the 1997 step in JMC's chronology
(1), where the 1st generation Ford-JMC van is retro-named that way).
The "
New Generation Transit" name was apparently wiped out at some time, as for now JMC's site
shows:
• As Ford, the
Transit:
• As JMC, the
Touring/
Teshun(3), which replaced the
Classic Transit in 2017:
As long as there's no indication about when the
New Generation Transit regained the (just)
Transit name , wouldn't it be safer to keep these vans as "just"
Transit?
