Ford's Otosan factory in Kocaeli, Turkey celebratesa landmark moment as the electric van reaches volume production with customer orders at 5,000+ units.
The E-Transit has more than 10,000 orders from fleet and commercial customers. Ford said it “is working on ways to increase production.”
The pilot program vehicles are road ready and will be in use through 2023.
As part of Ford’s just-released registration site for the electric E-Transit van, Ford has updated targeted battery ranges by body type, roof height, and wheelbase, along with targeted MSRPs for each configuration.
Lightning eMotors expects to produce 100 purpose-built Electric Transits this year, with a projection of up to 3,000 units by 2023.
Ford wants to make commercial vehicles a larger part of its business, and Ford CV leader Ted Cannis explains how the company is turning to things such as electrification and connectivity to make it happen.
A new commercial vehicle (CV) strategy is being implemented by Ford to make commercial vehicles a larger part of its business. Executing this new strategy is Ted Cannis, general manager, Commercial Vehicles for the U.S. and Canada.
The all-electric 2022 E-Transit will be available with a starting price under $45,000 and features a targeted maximum payload of 3,800 pounds with up to 487.3 cubic feet of cargo space.
The new E-Transit will join the all-electric F-150 and EV Mustang Mach-E, which support Ford’s plan of future vehicle electrification.
The Lightning Electric models are being provided to the hospital system by Wondries Fleet Group, a leading fleet dealer in California. All 12 are Class 3 delivery vans and were purchased under the terms of a California state contract.
