Ford Social: Transit Connect plug-in Hybrid

Transit Connect plug-in Hybrid

I retired from welding 10 years ago and today I have a small steel fab shop where I build yard art and other special order stuff as a ,could be profitable, hobby. I need a vehical that is big enough to deliver my products as well as pick up supplies. Also my wife and I like to take a few grand-kids and our three dogs to the Oregon Coast and the Transit Connect would be the perfect size for everything I want to do. I have been spoiled with the economy of my 2008 Escape Hybrid and it is good but the Transit Connect would be perfect if it was available as a Hybrid or plug-in hybrid. I would buy a plug-in Hybrid Transit Connect tomorrow if there was one.

Matthew R Businesses are always looking to cut costs, more importantly, to improve efficiency. For businesses who are constantly servicing off-site or shuttling parts and supplies of intermediate size to multiple, remote locations in a day, hybrids would be the ideal platform. Currently, Ford is missing out on a great opportunity to open up a market based on technology they already have. If Ford made the Transit-Connect a hybrid, they would be the only manufacturer to offer a hybrid vehicle in this class. And we would buy one.

Tim Peregoy Make a plug in Hybrid and I will buy one. Build in a 120-240 volt inverter into it so I can run power tools or light up the house if the power go's out or I'm camping.

Ron Graves The Transit is the perfect replacement for the 1967 VW Microbus. All it needs is all wheel drive ECO-boost/ small diesel / hybrid and a six speed tranny, Oh yeah, drop a couple thousand bucks off the msrp. My ultimate old man fishing rig. R.G.
