The E-Transit has more than 10,000 orders from fleet and commercial customers. Ford said it “is working on ways to increase production.”
The pilot program vehicles are road ready and will be in use through 2023.
Ford issued a safety recall for select 2013-21 Ford Transit Connect vehicles with 2.5L engine and 6F35 transmission.
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.
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.
