Why Ford Pro’s All-New Transit City is the ‘Go-To Vehicle’ for Urban Operators

DUNTON, UK - Ford Pro’s all-new Transit City has been specially engineered to withstand the unique rigors of urban delivery, backed by extensive durability testing and a comprehensive support network tailored for hard-working city operators.

To ensure the new model lives up to the Transit reputation, engineers subjected the Transit City to a punishing global testing regime. The assessment included tests that compressed 10 years and more than 240,000 km of demanding use into a shortened evaluation period. 

Recognising that urban "stop-start" cycles place unique stress on hardware, engineers performed additional specialised testing on the rear and side load doors, the ignition system, and the driver’s seat to ensure longevity in multi-drop delivery environments.

“We know the customers and their needs inside out,” said Simon Robinson, Chief Engineer for the Transit City. “Customers can be confident in our comprehensive base vehicle warranty. Beyond that, an eight-year, 160,000-kilometre warranty for all high-voltage components ensures peace of mind and should help residual values when it comes to resale. “

Support for the vehicle will be integrated into the Ford Pro Service ecosystem. This includes access to 800 specialist Transit Centres across Europe and a growing fleet of approximately 500 Mobile Service vans, designed to maximise uptime for commercial fleets.

The Transit City provides an ideal partner for the E-Transit Custom in the marketplace, creating a class-leading offering in the one-tonne segment. “We are confident that Transit City will have a major impact on the market, becoming a go-to vehicle for the armies of operators who are the hidden heart of our cities," said Simon.

Prospective buyers will not have to wait long to secure the new model. Order books for the Transit City are scheduled to open in the second quarter of this year, with the first units expected to arrive in Transit Centres by year-end.
