On the way to electrification of the park, vans are essential. Today, with the unstoppable rise of e-commerce, it is vital that commercial transport is as less polluting as possible . Ford has been at it for years, testing miles and miles through the streets of London, and they finally have the confidence to introduce the first 100% electric Transit. Its official debut will take place at the CV Show 2021 in Birmingham (United Kingdom) and we will know it under the name Ford E-Transit . Its arguments quickly place it as the most interesting large delivery van on the electric market, with up to 260 hp and 317 kilometers of autonomy . Not only that, the firm assures that it will have a highly competitive price to generate greater interest, with a launch cost of 53,631 euros .
The key to being able to offer this data has been the battery, 68 kWh . It is the largest in the segment, so it generates a greater range and allows remarkable powers for a cargo vehicle. This capacity is complemented by improved equipment, both in the connectivity section and in the safety and driver assistance assistants. The E-Transit will be available in the Base and Trend versions, with superior equipment than we would find in its diesel variants.
But all this would be useless without a good charging time, something that they have emphasized with the Ford Pro Full Charge Stand. It is a program run by specialists who advise European customers on the choice of vehicle and the implementation of the load structure.
The Ford E-Transit charges in 34 minutes, from 15% to 80% , as long as we plug it into a 115 kW DC fast charger. If we depend on an AC outlet we will have to wait 8 hours, something that in a fleet of commercial vehicles is essential when organizing logistics. Its launch is expected in spring 2022 , so let’s review its main features. If you want to know other electric commercial options, do not hesitate to discover the range of Citroën ë-Berlingo, ë-Jumpu or ë-Spacetourer.
