Ford has raised the bar in the commercial vehicle market yet again with the release of the all-new Ford E-Transit Courier, the smallest electric van in the Transit family. This groundbreaking vehicle has been developed from the ground up to provide customers with more flexible cargo space and improved payload capacity. With a 25% larger cargo space than its predecessor, this van is expected to set new standards in its class.
The Ford E-Transit Courier is part of Ford's more than $50 billion global investment in electric vehicles, and it is clear that the company has spared no expense in creating a truly innovative vehicle. With a 100 kW (136 HP) engine and the option of one-pedal driving, the E-Transit Courier delivers an excellent driving experience for customers. Additionally, the van can be fast-charged with up to 100 kW on a DC fast charger, meaning customers can expect to get 87 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes, or charge from 10-80% in under 35 minutes.
Ford Pro, the company's commercial vehicle division, has also integrated a range of digital services into the Ford E-Transit Courier for improved productivity. With real-time data on health, charge status, remaining range, and more, the system uses connected solutions to help customers increase productivity and make the most of their compact commercial vehicles.
For those who need to transport larger items, the Ford E-Transit Courier has a newly developed design that has led to an increased loading capacity. The width between the wheel arches in the load compartment has been increased to 1,220 mm, which means that the compact van can now accommodate two Euro pallets in the load compartment for the first time. The total load compartment volume is also 25% larger than the outgoing model, at a whopping 2.9 m 3 . A new loading hatch in the partition wall to the compartment also makes it possible to transport objects longer than 2.60 m.
The Ford E-Transit Courier is about more than just function, however. Ford has also paid attention to the design of the vehicle, with a tough and easily recognizable exterior and a spacious and practical interior. The van comes with a lot of equipment as standard, including a 12-inch digital instrument panel and a centrally located 12-inch touchscreen with Ford's latest SYNC4 infotainment system. The van also has a mobile office solution, which provides drivers with a work surface that can be used as a desk, computer table, or lunch table.
I am excited about the release of the E-Transit Courier. This electric van is a game-changer in the commercial vehicle market, and I am particularly impressed by its innovative features, including its fast charging capabilities and improved payload capacity. As someone who loves to travel, this vehicle is in high demand around the world. Whether you are a skilled mechanic, a business owner, or someone who is simply looking for a practical and reliable electric van, the Ford E-Transit Courier is definitely worth considering.
