This powertrain is designed to give customers an uncompromising driving experience, with a range that will be announced closer to launch. The electric powertrain offers a wide range of benefits, including lower running costs and reduced environmental impact.
Efficient charging solutions are also a key feature of the E-Transit Courier, allowing customers to manage to charge so that the most efficient ways and times to charge in everyday life are identified.

The van's new design offers even more advantages for Ford van customers, who now have the opportunity to use the space even better in the new van. The smart cargo hatch in the cargo compartment separation is a new and practical function. It enables customers to transport pipes, planks, or other long items longer than 2,600 mm, increasing the cargo space to 3.0 m3. The maximum payload for the Ford E-Transit Courier electric van is expected to be approximately 700 kg, while the maximum towing weight is 750 kg.
The interior of the E-Transit Courier is designed to meet the needs of customers, with a high level of standard equipment, including an electric handbrake, a new steering wheel design, and a keyless start. The van has a 12" digital screen in the instrument panel, while a 12" touchscreen has Ford's latest SYNC 4 system. The infotainment system is wirelessly compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing customers to stay connected and entertained on the go.
As standard, all E-Transit Couriers have a built-in modem that enables wireless updates. For example, customers do not need to visit the local dealer to update the van's software. The van also has a wide range of advanced driver assistance systems as standard, including intelligent adaptive cruise control, Blind Spot Information System, and other driver assistance systems that are designed to help keep drivers safe and alert on the road.

In addition to the E-Transit Courier and Ford E-Tourneo Custom, Ford is also working on many other electric vehicles, including the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, which is set to launch later this year. The company has also announced plans to electrify its entire commercial vehicle lineup by 2030.
The shift to electric vehicles is becoming increasingly important for automakers as governments worldwide implement stricter emissions regulations to combat climate change. Ford's investment in electric vehicles is part of a larger trend among automakers to electrify their lineups and reduce their environmental impact.
The upcoming launch of the Ford E-Transit Courier is a significant milestone for the company as it continues to expand its electric vehicle portfolio. The electric van is expected to offer businesses a practical and efficient solution for their transportation needs while contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
