The 82 E-Transit models offer 135 kW (183 hp) of power and a battery capacity of 68 kWh. This means that the large electric vans achieve a combined range of up to 317 kilometres or up to 403 kilometres in city traffic.
With a loading volume of up to 15.1 cubic meters, they are designed for more extensive transport and material logistics within BVG operations.
“The electrification of commercial vehicle fleets in urban areas requires practical solutions that can be flexibly adapted to different application profiles,” says Wilhelm Buchmüller, Ford Pro Director for Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
"This is exactly where we come in: With our fully electrified Ford Pro fleet as well as our software and service offerings, we offer commercial customers tailor-made solutions for the transformation to e-mobility. We are particularly pleased when we can support municipal companies like BVG in electrifying their fleets and achieving their sustainability goals.”
Ford Pro offers at least one electrified model in each of its five commercial vehicle series. With this comprehensive offering, Ford Pro was already the clear leader in new registrations in this segment last year with a market share of 36.4 percent. So far this year, the share has risen even further to 37.6 percent.
And the range of Ford Pro electric vans is also growing: the new Ford Transit City is expected to be launched on the market at the end of the year. This fifth Transit model is particularly suitable for inner-city operations from craft businesses to delivery services.
In addition to compliance with sustainability goals, economic efficiency plays a crucial role when switching to electric mobility, especially for commercial customers. That is why the total cost of ownership (TCO) is increasingly becoming the focus of many fleet managers.
