Thanks for posting — that’s a lot of new information I had not seen.

The 48V mild hybrid option for 2.0L diesel is a great step in right direction if the same technology comes to US. Electric steering and low rolling resistance tires (for a cargo van) should also help with fuel economy. I’m curious how they were able to save 6.1 kg (over 13 pounds) on fuel tank. I don’t know what material existing Transits use, but even metal fuel tanks aren’t that heavy, so saving that much weight (assuming they didn’t reduce size) is impressive.

I’m also interested in new low rolling resistance tires to see brand, size, and load rating.
