The Ford E-Transit Custom will be the little brother to the Ford E-Transit.
It's been revealed at the IAA in Hannover in 2022 and since then a few details have emerged. It will have a 380km range and support 125 kW fast charging.
It will be joined in the Transit Custom line-up by the new Custom PHEV which uses a similar powertrain to the Kuga PHEV. That means it gets a with a 2.5-litre petrol engine combined with a 11.8kWh battery to give 57km of electric-only range.
Ford says the E-Transit Custom will also have class-leading 2,000 kg towing capacity. It also says the Ford E-Transit Custom will have a payload of up to 1,100 kg.
Like the newly recamped Transit Custom it will have a more accesible loadspace.
The E-Transit Custom will also come with new new digital solutions for multi-drop deliverie. There'll be 5G connectivity and a flexible workspace. It will also get the squircle shaped steering wheel that includes the ability to fold up and use as a holder for laptops and tablets or as a table.
Power comes from a choice of 100 kW or 160 kW (135 PS or 217 PS) motors. Ford also says it will have class-leading torque ouput of 415 Nm.
The drive motor is fitted directly to the vehicle’s rear floor, removing the need for a dedicated subframe, and is rotated 90 degrees to maximise loadspace and reduce weight and complexity.
It uses a 400-volt architecture with a 74kWh useable battery. This is made up of 82 Ah pouch cells shared with the Ford F-150 Lightning. The new battery has 12% more energy density than the E‑Transit enabling it to acheive the impressive 380km range.
The batteries are direcly mounted to the body improving durability and reducing weight.
E-Transit Custom gets an 11 kW AC three-phase onboard charger. This will allow the E-Transit Custom to fully recharge the battery in 7.8 hours. Charging status will also be trackable through the FordPass Pro app.
For fast DC charging, the E-Transit Custom also supports speeds of up to 125 kW. That's enough to give it a 15-80% top up in 41 minutes.
In testing it added 38 km of range in just 5 minutes of charging using a 125 kW charger.
Ford Pro customers will also get access to the Blue Oval Charging Network, the largest in Europe with more than 300,000 chargers.
On the inside, the Ford E-Transit Custom is fitted with a 13‑inch landscape touchscreen that is angled towards the driver. It uses Ford’s SYNC 4 system and is paired with a 5G modem for better connectivity.
