What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Transit 2.8t?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Ford Classic Transit 17-seater high-roof model ranges between 8.5L-10.5L per 100 kilometers, while the Ford New Generation Transit consumes between 9L-11L per 100 kilometers. The following factors affect fuel consumption: 1. Displacement: Although fuel consumption is related to displacement, this relationship is not absolute. A larger cylinder volume (displacement) can accommodate more combustible mixture (air-fuel), so under the same conditions, an engine with a larger cylinder volume (displacement) will inevitably have higher power/fuel consumption. 2. RPM: The higher the RPM, the higher the fuel consumption. During daily driving, the RPM range is generally between 1000-3000, and the maximum RPM for ordinary family cars is around 6000. However, racing cars maintain operation at twice the maximum RPM of family cars (over 10,000 RPM) during races, naturally resulting in much higher fuel consumption.
I've been driving a Ford Transit 2.8T for several years, mainly on highways. The average fuel consumption is around 11 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can be controlled to about 10 liters if driven steadily on the highway. When carrying cargo and fully loaded going uphill, the fuel consumption can rise above 14 liters, and it's even more fuel-consuming in city traffic jams, possibly reaching 15 liters. After each maintenance, the fuel consumption tends to be lower, as changing the engine oil and filters makes the engine run smoother. It's advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and braking to save a lot of fuel. The diesel engine of this vehicle is durable, but it's better to use higher-quality fuel to avoid clogging. Overall, it's quite economical and suitable for people who are always on the go.
