Ford has launched its new E-Transit and has started shipping the vehicle across North America to customers.
Yesterday, Ford officially started getting the new E-Transit, which has a better range rating, lower cost of ownership, and better charging than ever before, to customers as it continues to be a leader in commercial EVs.
The E-Transit is one of the best-selling commercial electric vans in the country, and is truly only challenged by the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter.
Ford felt it necessary to continue refining the E-Transit as it has already been a suitable choice for business owners who want to cut down on fuel consumption and help with sustainability.
The 2024 E-Transit with Enhanced Range now provides up to 159 miles of driving with 89 kWh of usable energy. This will help support work over longer distances and more capability for use cases like refrigeration.
These types of specific needs consume energy and deplete range. Ford aimed to fix that with the new Enhanced Range version.
There is a 32 percent increase in range, and now, thanks to dual onboard chargers, there are faster charging times, helping you get back to work quicker.
Additionally, there is 2.4 kW of Pro Power Onboard, which is now operable while the E-Transit is in motion.
Ford did a rundown of some of the E-Transit Enhanced Range’s new features:
- Enhanced-Range Battery: Enhanced range capability provides an estimated range of up to 159 miles with 89 kWh of usable energy, supporting work over longer distances and more capability for new use cases, like refrigerated delivery.
- Cutting-Edge Charging Capabilities: Now featuring dual onboard chargers delivering a charge time that’s 22% faster than before when using Ford Pro’s 80A Series 2 charger and available Ford Pro charging software to help identify the best times to charge and more.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership: E-Transit helps fleets reduce their total cost of ownership, championed as the Best Fleet Value in America in its category by Vincentric for the third consecutive year thanks to reduced fuel, maintenance and operating costs.
- Sustainability Powerhouse: E-Transit has saved over 3 million gallons of gas and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 25 million kilograms, the equivalent of planting 413,377 tree seedlings and letting them grow for 10 years.
The E-Transit has been one reason Ford has been able to garner a reputation as one of the best-selling EV brands in the country.
As the F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E continue to lead the way, Ford’s E-Transit is truly one of the most suitable commercial EVs on the market.
Despite the company scaling back some of its EV plans and prioritizing hybrids alongside pure electric cars, Ford still remains committed to delivering a great product with its sustainable powertrains.
