Ford's Transit Skyliner Concept has four custom ‘throne’ seats. |
Ford said their Transit Skyliner Concept luxury van illustrates the
“unlimited flexibility, versatility and capability” of the new Transit.
UK campervan specialist Wellhouse Leisure designed the VW T5
campervan, which “seamlessly transforms between living and hauling
configurations thanks to an electric rear bench that slides forward to open up
space in the rear”.
Inside the Ford, the Skyliner can transform into four dramatic
modes — theatre, business, reception and travel — with movable, custom-designed “throne” seats
that reposition automatically, controlled by a smartphone or tablet.
The Theatre mode has the passengers facing a 52-inch retractable
Stewart movie screen and their seats can recline “for optimal cinematic
viewing”.
Tim Stoehr, Ford manager for commercial truck marketing, described
the Transit’s custom interior as immersive in a way that shortens the journey.
The Transit uses a 3.5 litre EcoBoost engine.

Inside the Volkswagen, there is a two-burner stove, sink and
refrigerator, with the rear seat able to lock into multiple positions, including
a 2x1,2 metre bed. Other equipment in the combi includes a 42-litre Waeco
compressor fridge, 35-litre fresh and waste water tanks, an optional Webasto
heat and hot water system, and an optional rear hand shower.
