Ford unveiled the Transit City, a compact van for urban use, at IAA Transportation. The vehicle is available exclusively with an electric powertrain. According to Ford, order books are already open and the first vehicles are on their way for delivery.

Variants

• Compact panel van with a short wheelbase
• Larger panel van with a long wheelbase and a higher roof
• Chassis for bespoke bodywork

Deliberately kept simple

Ford has largely dispensed with configuration options, apart from a few colours. There are no plans to offer a towbar. Battery capacity and range figures were not included in the presentation.

Who the model is suited to

The target customers are trades businesses, municipal operators and users who mainly drive short distances in urban and surrounding areas. The chassis version opens up new possibilities for bodybuilders. For the motor trade, the model is another addition to the growing range of electric vans.
