- ThyssenKrupp Elevator, Americas Business Unit, is the largest producer of elevators in North America. The company recently purchased 140 Ford Transit Connects for its vehicle fleet to be used by mechanics who routinely service
elevators and escalators. ThyssenKrupp Elevator was one of the earliest adopters of the Transit Connect. Currently, the company has the most Transit Connects in operation in North America.
- ThyssenKrupp Elevator has established company-wide sustainability initiatives. One of these initiatives is the reduction of fuel. Nationwide, ThyssenKrupp Elevator operates approximately 3,300 vehicles – a mixture of pickup trucks, full-size vans, utility vehicles, medium-duty trucks and a small number of autos. Approximately 1,500 of the company’s service mechanics do not necessarily require a large vehicle to get the job done, so ThyssenKrupp Elevator’s fleet director had been actively looking for a midsized fuel-efficient vehicle that could meet the service mechanics’ needs. When the Transit Connect became available, it provided ThyssenKrupp Elevator with an affordable, right-sized, fuel-efficient solution.
- The Ford Transit Connect, 2010 North American Truck of the Year, is equipped with a 2.0-liter I-4 engine and four-speed automatic overdrive transmission combination, rated at 22 mpg city, 25 highway. Transit Connect starts at $21,475, including destination.
