Ford: Transit Courier also comes as a Stromer 🎥

FUTURE The next generation of the Ford Transit Courier is in the starting blocks. For the first time, there is also an all-electric variant of the compact van series with the E-Transit Courier model.

 

The new edition of the Transit Courier models with gasoline or diesel drive can be ordered as early as this summer, and the first customer vehicles will be delivered before the end of the year. By contrast, production of the E-Transit Courier is not scheduled to start until fall 2024 at Ford's Otosan plant in Craiova, Romania, and the market launch is planned for the end of 2024.

Significantly larger load volume

In the new generation, the Transit Courier impresses with a significantly larger load volume - at 2.9 cubic meters, it exceeds the size of its predecessor by 25 percent. The loading width between the wheel arches increases from 1.01 to 1.22 meters due to the new rear-wheel suspension and allows two Euro pallets to be transported. The load compartment length has increased by 18 centimeters to 1.80 meters. In conjunction with the new through-loading opening in the partition wall and the fold-down front passenger seat, it can be further increased so that boards or pipes up to 2.6 meters long can be loaded.

Costs for maintenance more favorable

The all-electric E-Transit Courier is also expected to impress with a maximum payload of up to 700 kilograms. The van can tow trailers with a total weight of up to 750 kilograms. Ford offers the E-Transit Courier exclusively as a two-seater panel van. If more passengers are required, the Transit Courier is also available as a station wagon with a three-seat rear bench in combination with gasoline or diesel drive.

Access to 500,000 charging stations

E-Transit Courier users will have one year of free access to the Blue Oval Charge Network, which includes more than 500,000 public charging stations by 2024. Ford Pro expects maintenance and service costs for the all-electric Courier to drop significantly - by at least 35 percent compared to similar diesel-powered vehicles.
