Ford reveals new electric and PHEV models

Mon, 16 Sept 2024

Ford has revealed three new electrified van models which will go on sale later this year.
The Ford E-Transit Courier has a useable battery capacity of 43kWh, offering up to 186 miles of driving range, a 700kg payload and increased load capacity compared with the petrol Ford Transit Courier.
A 10-80% charge takes around 23 minutes with the standard 100kW DC charger. Production is scheduled to start in late 2024, with the first customer deliveries in early 2025.
Meanwhile, the larger two-tonne Ford E-Transit comes in a new, 89kWh Enhanced Range version.
A standard heat pump, faster charging and up to 249 miles of driving range will better serve businesses with longer routes or higher power needs, such as refrigerated grocery delivery.
Order books for the enhanced-range model will open in October, with production commencing in early 2025.
The third new Ford model is the Ford Transit Connect PHEV - the plug-in hybrid has e 73-mile EV-only range.
Ford has also shown a new FlexCab crew-or-cargo body style, while DC charging at up to 40kW allows for a 5-80% charge in around 26 minutes. Production of the new model started in September 2024, with the first vans arriving with customers towards the end of the year.
