Ford reveals all-electric E-Tourneo Custom alongside new PHEV and diesel models

Operators looking for an electric sevenseater will receive a boost in the second half of 2023 with the launch of the new Ford Pro E-Tourneo Custom, offering a practical people-mover with a pure electric range of 230 miles.

E-Tourneo Custom is one of four new allelectric Ford Pro models being launched in Europe by 2024. It is aimed at both private and business customers, offering spacious accommodation for up to eight occupants.

Tourneo Custom customers can also choose a plug-in hybrid version, along with an EcoBlue diesel in three power outputs with new high-efficiency eight-speed automatic gearbox, and, for the first time, an intelligent all-wheel drive system.

The EV version uses the same high-density battery cell technology as the Ford F-150 Lightning pick-up, combining a 74kWh battery with a 160kW electric motor. An onboard 11kW AC three-phase charger is capable of fully recharging the battery in less than 8 hours, and a 15-80% recharge will take around 41 minutes using a 125kW DC fast charger.

The PHEV uses a parallel hybrid system to combine a 2.5-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an electric motor and 11.8kWh battery pack, giving pure-electric driving range of 31 miles. Tourneo Custom is available in standard and long wheelbases, each offering three rows of seating, with up to eight seats in E-Tourneo Custom and a maximum of nine seats in Tourneo Custom PHEV and diesel models. The rear can also be configured in six-person conference layout.
