Ford<\/strong><\/a> has introduced all new Ford Transit with a different form of marketing, by touting how unhappy the occupants will be. Ford\u2019s press release for its new Transit Prisoner Transport Vehicle (Transit PTV) does just that, proclaiming: \u201c[The] Only People Not Thrilled About Riding in All-New Ford Transit<\/strong><\/a>? Prisoners.\u201d This is a Ford for its corrections officer sense of fun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Transit PTV is a modern-day paddy wagon developed with input from Ford\u2019s Police Advisory Board with a group of law-enforcement officials from across North America and Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions. The PTV is based on a long-wheelbase, medium-roof version of the new Transit, and it can carry up to 12 prisoners in three separate compartments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the pictures shows a bench seating for six in the rearmost compartment complete with a wall-mounted strap for cuffed hooligans to grasp. Based on the full-size Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Transit’s considerable configuration options that include threeroof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles \u2013 not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-litre V6, 3.5-litre EcoBoost and 3.2-litre Power Stroke diesel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And no matter what Ford says, we bet at least some prisoners will experience a thrill riding in the PTV. Ford police marketing manager, Jonathan Honeycutt said: “Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford’s deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have a Good Ride Criminals Ford has introduced all new Ford Transit with a different form of marketing, by touting how unhappy the occupants will be.
