The E-Transit has more than 10,000 orders from fleet and commercial customers. Ford said it “is working on ways to increase production.”
Ford is betting on Ford Pro to meet a connected, electric mobility future. What’s the plan?
Ford Pro Intelligence is a cloud-based platform that integrates telematics, data tools, and a partnership with Salesforce, as well as consultation on charging solutions for electric vehicles.
The pilot program vehicles are road ready and will be in use through 2023.
Ford Pro Charging will provide services to aid in implementing electric vehicle charging through consulting on the design and construction of charging sites, providing software and hardware infrastructure to support energy management, and working with local utilities on energy and infrastructure needs.
Ford Pro Charging’s Muffi Ghadiali explains how increasing grid demands necessitate fleets and utilities working together to reduce peak load with local battery storage, renewables, and bidirectional power from EVs themselves.
Penske Truck Leasing and National Grid have added preproduction E-Transit vans to their fleets. Both will evaluate E-Transit’s capabilities, driving experience, and charging for their applications.
Ford Pro, a separate global vehicle services and distribution business within Ford, announced its newest executives to lead the company’s efforts to develop and deliver work-ready products and services for commercial and government customers.
