Ford E-Transit Courier and Ford Transit Connect PHEV Launch: Specs, Range, and Fleet Benefits

Ford E-Transit Courier and Ford Transit Connect PHEV

Ford is expanding its electric commercial fleet with the launch of the new E-Transit Courier and the Transit Connect Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV). These two models mark another step in Ford’s electrification strategy aimed at supporting small businesses and fleet operators across Europe.

The models are headed for Norway first, reflecting the country’s advanced EV infrastructure and consumer readiness. Both vehicles are optimized for urban logistics, emission-free driving zones, and long-term cost efficiency.

Key Highlights

  • Ford E-Transit Courier: Fully electric compact van
  • Ford Transit Connect PHEV: Plug-in hybrid variant of the Transit Connect
  • Available in Norway from late 2024
  • Designed for urban delivery, trades, and fleet use
  • Aligned with Ford’s goal of zero emissions for all vehicles by 2035

What Makes These Models Important?

Ford’s new commercial EV lineup reflects changes in urban logistics. Cities now demand smaller, zero-emission vans that can operate efficiently in low-emission zones. These two models address that directly:

Ford E-Transit Courier

  • Fully electric
  • Designed for compact delivery routes
  • Competitive range and charging flexibility

Ford Transit Connect Plug-In Hybrid

  • Plug-in hybrid system
  • Flexible operation in and out of cities
  • Reduced fuel dependency

Ford E-Transit Courier: Designed for Delivery

The E-Transit Courier is smaller than the standard E-Transit, making it better suited for tight city streets. It still offers up to 2.9 cubic meters of cargo space, enough for most courier tasks.

Key Specifications

FeatureDetail
PowertrainAll-electric
Battery CapacityEstimated around 54 kWh
Expected RangeApprox. 186 miles (300 km)
Charging Speed (DC)Up to 100 kW
Payload Capacity~1,600 lbs (750 kg)
Cargo Volume2.9 m³

Charging Options

  • AC Charging: Overnight using wallbox at 11 kW
  • DC Fast Charging: ~35 minutes to 80%

This van is aimed at urban fleets and last-mile delivery companies needing zero tailpipe emissions and low operating costs.

Ford Transit Connect Plug-In Hybrid: Built for Flexibility

The Transit Connect PHEV targets operators who work both in and outside of low-emission zones. It gives flexibility to use battery power in cities and gasoline for longer routes.

Hybrid Powertrain

FeatureDetail
Engine1.5L EcoBoost + electric motor
Battery11.8 kWh
Electric Range (est.)Up to 37 miles (60 km)
Combined Range~435 miles (700 km)
Charging Time (AC)~3.5 hours
Max Payload~1,500 lbs (680 kg)

The Transit Connect PHEV offers fuel savings and reduced emissions without the range anxiety of a pure EV.

Smart Tech for Smarter Fleets

Both models integrate Ford Pro services. This suite includes software, charging, and financing options that help small businesses manage their fleet costs and logistics.

Built-In Features

  • Connected Navigation with real-time traffic
  • Remote vehicle diagnostics
  • Over-the-air updates
  • Telematics integration for fleet managers

These tools reduce vehicle downtime and improve fleet visibility.

Why Norway First?

Norway is leading Europe in EV adoption.

Here’s why Ford is launching there:

  • Over 80% of new vehicles sold in Norway are electric.
  • Government subsidies and zero-VAT policies reduce upfront EV costs.
  • Businesses are incentivized to electrify fleets.

By starting in Norway, Ford can test these models with real commercial use cases before rolling them out across other markets.

Ford’s Commercial EV Strategy

This isn’t a one-off product push. Ford plans to offer a full range of electrified commercial vehicles in Europe by 2026.

Full Lineup Includes:

  1. Ford E-Transit (already available)
  2. Ford E-Transit Custom
  3. E-Transit Courier
  4. Transit Custom PHEV
  5. Transit Connect PHEV

Ford’s electrification strategy is built around fleet integration, not just product launches.

Cost Savings for Fleet Owners

Ford estimates significant total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages for both models.

Ford E-Transit Courier TCO Advantages

  • No fuel costs
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Reduced taxes in emission-regulated zones

Ford Transit Connect PHEV TCO Advantages

  • 40% less fuel consumption (est.)
  • Fewer service stops than diesel variants
  • Reduced emissions tax

For example, over a 5-year usage:

FactorDiesel VanE-Transit Courier
Fuel/Energy Cost (avg/year)$2,000$700
Annual Maintenance$900$500
Emission/Zone Charges$800$0

Compact, Practical, and Legal Zone Ready

Urban delivery zones often restrict diesel-powered vehicles. These new vans meet city standards:

  • Zero-emission capable
  • Right-sized dimensions
  • Compliant with urban driving rules

This makes them ideal for small businesses, tradespeople, and courier firms operating under clean air regulations.

Battery and Charging Infrastructure

Ford supports its new electric lineup with Ford Pro Charging. This includes:

  • Home and depot charging solutions
  • Public charging access across Europe
  • Energy management tools

Charging infrastructure is a key element in EV adoption. Ford is helping businesses plan charging around operations to avoid downtime.

Roadmap to Full Electrification

Ford is committed to electric-only sales of all commercial vehicles in Europe by 2035. These two vans are part of that roadmap.

Targets

  • 2026: 100% of Ford commercial vehicles in Europe will offer an electric or hybrid version
  • 2030: 66% of sales in Europe will be all-electric
  • 2035: Zero emissions across all new sales

The Transit lineup plays a key role in Ford’s transition.

Final Thoughts: A Practical EV Expansion

Ford’s new E-Transit Courier and Transit Connect Plug-In Hybrid show that electrification doesn’t have to mean compromise.

They offer:

  • Practical cargo space
  • Smart fleet management tools
  • Cost savings over time
  • Regulatory compliance

With strong specs and fleet-friendly features, these vans deliver what businesses need today—not in 2035.
