3. & 4. Ford Transit Custom and FIAT Scudo - Up to 40.9mpg

The Ford Transit Custom and FIAT Scudo are neck-and-neck when it comes to fuel economy, both providing up to 40.9mpg.

Ford Transit Custom

Starting with the Transit Custom, Ford’s innovative EcoBlue diesel engines give you both improved power and torque. Lower fuel consumption and emissions are also enhanced. The catalytic reduction system uses AdBlue - a water-based fluid to cleverly convert NOx emissions into nitrogen and water. A particulate filter also helps to reduce more than 99% of emitted solid particulates in the exhaust system.

FIAT Scudo

The FIAT Scudo offers four top-of-the-range internal combustion engines (ICE). These have been produced with efficiency and performance in mind. The two 1.5-litre engines come with a 6-speed manual gearbox, whereas the two 2.0-litre engines have the option of an 8-speed automatic. The automatic options would be the best option if fuel economy is at the forefront of your mind. Its handling of stop/start traffic and the extra gear ratios available with the auto all add up to better fuel economy.
