Ford: Transit as a Stromer weighs up to 1600 kilos 🎥
MODEL DIVERSITY Ford offers the new, electrically powered Transit in two performance levels and with 44 configuration options - with payloads from 700 to 1600 kilograms and ranges of more than 300 kilometers.
At the heart of the E-Transit is the 68-kWh battery, which enables ranges of up to 317 kilometers.
A model legend from Ford is entering a new era. The Transit is now available with a fully electric drive. The E-Transit, which will hit the road in May as a panel van, will be offered in the Base and Trend trim levels. The chassis version will be launched on the Swiss market in September.
Less maintenance and repairs
The electric Transit offers companies clear economic advantages. Ford estimates that maintenance and repair costs are 40 percent lower than for comparable diesel models, due in part to the lower maintenance requirements of electric motors. Added to this are savings in energy costs.
Battery capacity for 300 kilometers
At the heart of the E-Transit is the 68 kWh battery, which enables WLTP ranges of up to 317 kilometers. This makes the new Transit suitable for almost all commercial applications in the local and regional environment. The electric motor is available in 135 and 198 kW (184 and 269 hp) output levels, each with 430 Nm of torque.
All variants are driven via the rear wheels. Because the battery is located under the cargo area, a cargo area volume of up to 15.1 cubic meters can be realized for the panel van versions - the same as in the current diesel Transit panel van with rear-wheel drive.
Body variants according to Badarf
Customers can choose from a total of 44 configuration options, based on the panel van, panel van with double cab and chassis versions, with three wheelbases, extended frame and two roof heights. The maximum permissible gross weight is between 3.5 and 4.25 tons.
Battery to 80 percent in 34 minutes
Ford also offers a variety of charging solutions for home, the depot or on the road. The onboard charger supports three-phase AC charging at a wallbox with charging powers of up to 11.3 kW. The fast charging function with up to 115 kW is particularly powerful. This means the battery is charged from 15 to 80 percent in around 34 minutes.
The E-Transit is available as a panel van or chassis with prices starting at 59,980 Swiss francs.
