Ford Pro Unveils All-New Transit City to Tackle Urban Business Challenges
Mar 26, 2026
It marks a significant expansion of the legendary Transit family, which has been a staple of the commercial vehicle market since 1965, and the launch comes at a critical time for European businesses.
With the van-powered sector contributing over €1 trillion to Europe’s GDP, operators are facing mounting pressure from clean air zones, rising operating costs, and strict urban restrictions. According to Simon Robinson of Ford Pro, the Transit City was developed as a "laser-sharp" solution to these specific challenges.
"Ford Pro saw a way to help cost-conscious firms who need the right tool for work in increasingly electric-only cities," Simon stated. "We could offer a super-simple vehicle that still ticks every box – to the point that you wouldn’t need a single optional extra."

- L1H1 Van: A compact model designed for congested streets, capable of carrying three Euro pallets with a payload of up to 1,085 kg.
- L2H2 Van: A high-capacity variant offering 8.5 m3 of load volume and a payload of up to 1,275 kg.
- Chassis Cab: Ford Pro’s first-ever one-tonne electric chassis cab, designed to be a primary platform for the company’s network of over 200 approved converters across Europe.
To minimise complexity and cost, Ford is offering a single, comprehensive specification across the lineup. Standard features include durable load liners, half-height interior trim, and integrated lashing points.
Data from thousands of connected Ford Pro electric vehicles revealed 90 per cent of vans in Transit City’s segment drive under 110 kilometres a day on average.
The Transit City features a 56 kWh useable capacity battery utilising lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry. Ford’s data from thousands of connected vehicles showed that 90 per cent of vans in this segment average less than 110 kilometres a day. The Transit City targets a range of up to 254 km—more than double the daily requirement for most urban users.

“I’m confident that diesel van drivers will love the shift to electric,” adds Simon. “A front-wheel drive setup and 110 kW e-motor mean Transit City is smooth, quiet, and offers instant torque to get heavy loads moving.”
With fewer moving parts than traditional diesel engines, maintenance costs are expected to drop by approximately 40 per cent. The vehicle also features a generous service interval of two years or 40,000 km.
The interior is tailored for the high-frequency demands of delivery work, where drivers may exit the vehicle over 200 times a day. Standard equipment includes keyless start, a heated driver’s seat for energy-efficient warmth, and a 12-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety remains a priority for the urban-focused van, which comes standard with a suite of driver-assist technologies including Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and a Rear-View Camera to help drivers navigate tight loading bays and busy city streets.
