Which automatic gearboxes are used by Addison Lee Ford Galaxies?
I have had occasion to use Addison Lee mini cabs recently. They run a fleet of Ford Galaxys and the drivetrain seems to be particularly smooth. Do you know which particular drive train they use?

Most have Ford/PSA 2.0 diesel engines with 6-speed Aisin Warner torque converter autoboxes. But their new Galaxys run the same engines with Ford/Getrag Powershift twin clutch autoboxes, like VAG DSGs, but better. Old ones are coming off the fleet in June and will be for sale.

Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.
