Is the Engine of the Ford New Transit Imported?
2 Answers
The engine of the Ford New Transit is not imported but domestically produced. It is assembled by Jiangling Ford, with technology provided by Jiangling Ford, making it a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Ford New Transit is EcoBoost, with a maximum horsepower of 121 HP, a maximum power output of 89 KW, a maximum power speed of 3250 rpm, and a peak torque of 305 Nm. For the daily maintenance of the Ford New Transit's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I previously researched the New Transit and found its engine origins quite interesting. The Jiangling Ford New Transit models currently on the road mostly have engines assembled at the Nanchang factory, though many core technologies are developed globally by Ford. Take that 2.0T EcoBoost gasoline engine for example - key components like the turbocharger might be imported, but the complete vehicle production line is domestic. Actually, China's automotive manufacturing standards have improved significantly. Last year when my friend bought the diesel version, we could still see the "Made in China" steel stamp under the engine cover. You don't need to worry about maintenance difficulties with this vehicle either, since the parts supply chain has been localized, making it much more convenient than purely imported vehicles.
