Ford and Westfalia have created the Big Nugget

Despite having a slightly daft name, the Big Nugget will be a logical addition to Ford’s camper van range. It has just been unveiled in concept form at the 2019 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, although the production version (which should arrive in the first half of next year) is unlikely to be very different.

Like the existing Transit Custom Nugget and Nugget Plus, the Big Nugget has been developed in collaboration with Westfalia. Of course, using the much larger Transit L3 H3 as a starting point yields various space advantages, including 2.05 metres (6’ 8”) of standing height inside. Overall length is a manageable 5.98 metres (19’ 7”).

The Big Nugget has an entirely conventional interior layout. Two rotating front seats form a dinette with the rear reclining bench, while opposite is a basic kitchenette that features a two-burner gas hob, a sink and a refrigerator.

There’s no need to rely on camp site facilities, thanks to the built-in wash room’s shower, basin and toilet. The intention is to fit fresh- and waste-water tanks with capacities of 100 litres (22 gallons) each.

A transverse double bed can be found at the back of the vehicle. Its ample cold-foam mattress measures 2.00 metres (6’ 6”) long by 1.54 metres (5’ 0”) wide at the head end and 1.31 metres (4’ 3”) wide at the foot end. During the day, one half can be folded up to provide extra storage capacity.

The front-wheel drive Transit Big Nugget is going to be powered by a 2.0 litre EcoBlue TDCi diesel engine, but the output has yet to be decided.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
