As part of Ford’s just-released registration site for the electric E-Transit van, Ford has updated targeted battery ranges by body type, roof height, and wheelbase, along with targeted MSRPs for each configuration.
Lightning eMotors expects to produce 100 purpose-built Electric Transits this year, with a projection of up to 3,000 units by 2023.
The E-Transit is available in eight body-style configurations, including cargo van, chassis cab, and cutaway versions, with three roof heights and three body lengths. The E-Transit cargo area is the same as the current gasoline-powered Transit van.
Ford wants to make commercial vehicles a larger part of its business, and Ford CV leader Ted Cannis explains how the company is turning to things such as electrification and connectivity to make it happen.
A new commercial vehicle (CV) strategy is being implemented by Ford to make commercial vehicles a larger part of its business. Executing this new strategy is Ted Cannis, general manager, Commercial Vehicles for the U.S. and Canada.
The all-electric 2022 E-Transit will be available with a starting price under $45,000 and features a targeted maximum payload of 3,800 pounds with up to 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
The new E-Transit will join the all-electric F-150 and EV Mustang Mach-E, which support Ford’s plan of future vehicle electrification.
Ford announced the Ford E-Transit would hit the U.S. market for the 2022 model-year. It will be made available with several chassis options and is aimed at helping businesses achieve sustainability goals and a lower cost of ownership.
The Lightning Electric models are being provided to the hospital system by Wondries Fleet Group, a leading fleet dealer in California. All 12 are Class 3 delivery vans and were purchased under the terms of a California state contract.
