Whether you have a small heating and cooling, roofing, or other contractor's business, finding a fuel-efficient cargo van is critical to your business's profitability. You don't want to be spending all your revenue on fuel. That's why finding any of the cost fuel-efficient cargo vans will be a benefit to your pocketbook. So, what cargo vans in Toronto, Ontario offers the most fuel-efficient vans? Here are 5 top fuel-efficient cargo vans for sale in Canada.
Ford Transit
This cargo van is one of the most popular ones on the market in Canada. It's plentiful and spacious. With cargo space of 487 cubic feet (ca. 14 m³), you should have enough room to carry all your tools and supplies without a problem. Hauling is a breeze too with this van having the ability to take on up to 7,500 lbs.
You have a couple options with the engine in the Ford Transit. If you go with the standard option, you'll have a hearty 3.7 L V6 with 275 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. If you want to upgrade, you can get the Ecoboost, which is a Turbocharged 3.5 L V6 with 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.
The fuel economy for the Transit is 14 miles (ca. 23 km) per gallon city, and 18 miles (ca. 29 km) per gallon highway.
Ford Transit Connect
Although the Ford Transit Connect is a smaller van, it can still do the job for certain businesses. And since it's smaller, it does get a better fuel economy. It averages approximately 19 miles (ca. 31 km) per gallon in the city, and 27 miles (ca. 43 km) per gallon on the highway.
There is 128 cubic feet (3.62 m³) of cargo space, but the trade-off may be worth it if you don't need to haul a lot of things in the back. It operates on an Inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers 162 horsepower with an 8-speed transmission and has the ability to haul up to 2,000 lbs.
Ram ProMaster
The Ram ProMaster boasts a standard with a 3.6-L V6, which brings 280 horsepower to the van and 295 lb-ft a torque. You can also get a diesel, as well. The cargo area is quite spacious with a full 463 cubic feet (ca. 13 m³) for all your items. Hauling is not a problem with this pro of a van; you'll be able to take on up to 5,100 lbs.
When it comes to the miles per gallon, you'll get approximately 13 miles (ca. 21 km) per gallon driving through the city, and 18 miles (ca. 29 km) per gallon on the highway.
Nissan NV200
This medium to smaller-sized cargo van may be just the perfect size for some businesses. It has just under 123 cubic feet (3.48 m³), so it's definitely smaller than your Ram ProMaster or your Ford Transit, but you will make up for it in fuel savings. You can expect to see an average of 24 miles (ca. 39 km) per gallon hitting those city streets and 26 miles (ca. 42 km) per gallon cruising the highway, which isn't bad. The engine in this van is a 2.0-L 4-cylinder.
Chevrolet Express
Another great van for the fuel economy is the Chevy Express. It gains the same mileage as the Nissan with 24 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The cargo area is much more spacious though with 239 cubic feet (ca. 7 m³), making this a real deal of a van. Its towing capabilities are outstanding too with it being able to haul between 6,300 to 7,400 lbs. It has a 4.3-L V-6 engine.
