Ford E-Transit

Ford sets a new CV benchmark as E-Transit gets ready to roll

E-Transit is latest model to emerge from Ford’s electrification programme, with range of 197 miles

Ford Pro Vehicles is introducing a new benchmark for electric vehicle productivity, value and ownership experience with the new all-electric E-Transit.

With its class-leading battery size, range, motor power and unique ProPower Onboard exportable power feature, the all-electric version of the world’s best-selling cargo van offers unmatched performance for commercial customers.

This capability is complemented by an enhanced level of standard equipment featuring Euro NCAP-commended intelligent driver assistance and safety systems, as well as end-to-end charging support from Ford Pro Charging and an entire integrated suite of Ford Pro solutions to optimise efficiency and cost of ownership.

E-Transit is also extremely competitively priced in the marketplace, to help accelerate adoption of electric vehicles, starting from £47,700 excluding VAT in the UK.

The new vehicle spearheads the European introduction of Ford Pro – the manufacturer’s new worldwide sales and servicing business centred around improving commercial vehicle customers’ productivity with world-class vehicles and cutting-edge products and services.

Comprehensive standard specification

E-Transit provides every customer with a comprehensive standard specification and advanced technologies to make electrifying their fleets easier and more beneficial than ever before. The vehicle is designed to satisfy a wide range of customer use-cases, with a 68kWh usable battery capacity as standard, providing a competitive range of up to 197 miles WLTP.

True Transit capability is delivered by the powerful motor offering 430Nm of torque and a choice of 135kW or 198kW maximum outputs. Payload is up to 1,758kg on the van model, and the comprehensive range totals 25 variants of van, double-cab-in-van and chassis cab body styles with multiple lengths and roof heights, as well as GVMs from 3.5 to 4.25 tonnes. E-Transit also features Ford’s unique ProPower Onboard feature, delivering up to 2.3Kw in the cab and load area to power conversions and equipment while out at work.

E-Transit is offered in two series – Leader and Trend – and all vehicles offer significantly higher specifications than the equivalent diesel model. The Base series includes Electronic Air Temperature Control, Keyless Start, heated seats, Quickclear windscreen and heated power mirrors.

Award-winning driver assistance

E-Transit has already earned a Gold Award from independent vehicle safety authority Euro NCAP for its comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems.

The available technologies include Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Sign Recognition, Blind Spot Information System with Lane Change Warning & Aid, Lane Departure Warning, Lane-Keeping Aid, and Junction Assist.

Key new driver assistance systems that help minimise repair costs include Reverse Brake Assist, 10 which uses a camera and sensors to detect pedestrians, cyclists and static obstacles when reversing and can deliver a warning before automatically stopping the vehicle if the driver does not react.

Drivers also benefit from a new 360-degree camera, 10 giving a birds-eye view of E-Transit’s surroundings on the 12-inch dashboard screen to help avoid obstacles when manoeuvring in tight spaces with a limited view.
