Countytrac develops All Wheel Drive System

Ford has launched an All-Wheel Drive Transit, based on the rear-wheel-drive 140PS 2.4 litre Duratorq diesel powered model. The all mechanical system ensures that most of the time, the van adopts conventional rear wheel drive. The system senses when the rear wheels start to turn faster than the front wheels and then automotically engages driveshaft clutches to split the drive with the front wheels. When front and rear wheels are turning at the same speed again, the system automatically disengages. All the time that the front and rear wheels are turning at the same speed, the drive to the front wheels is disengaged. The four wheel drive system is housed in a modified gearbox casing, which uses the same six speed gearbox as the rear wheel drive 140PS Transit.
