Ford has announced more technical details and the first pricing information for the E-Transit electric van as it makes its UK debut at the 2021 CV Show. The first full-production Ford electric van, the E-Transit won’t actually go on sale until spring 2022, but order books open in October 2021, when it will be priced from a stunningly competitive £42,695 excluding VAT.
- Pricing and specification revealed for new electric Transit van
- Will be the most powerful van of any kind available in the UK
- Lots of power, lots of payload
While Ford’s first electric van has been a long time coming (and still isn’t here yet), it seems that in taking its time, the blue oval has been able to build an electric Transit that already has solutions for the typical electric van problems.
For instance, with a targeted driving range of 196 miles per charge WLTP, it offers plenty of distance between charges, while maximum payload is set to be 1,758kg and maximum power an enormous 269hp – with a second, less powerful motor option still delivering 183hp.
One of the major stars of the 2021 Commercial Vehicle Show, the Ford E-Transit is promising sensational performance, while the real-world trial with a series of key business types should ensure it lives up to expectations.
