The new model, like the Transit Custom, will be made at Ford’s Turkish commercial vehicle plant. As part of a deal, Ford will also build electric passenger cars using Volkswagen’s MEB platform. Ford intends to offer zero-emissions capability across its entire line-up of commercial-vehicle models by 2024. Ford plans to have two-thirds (or more) of its commercial vehicle sales fall within these categories by 2030. However, mild-hybrid diesel engines are still available so Ford’s Dagenham, Essex engine plant is safe for the medium term.

The 2023 Transit Custom will get an electrified drivetrain option, as well as a host-connected technology. This includes areas like security and software updates, fleet management, and fleet management. Ford Europe president Stuart Rowley stated: “The next generation Transit Custom range, including the all-electric model, will strengthen Ford’s position in Europe as Europe’s top-selling commercial vehicle brand. Transit Custom is our crown jewel and key to our efforts to grow our commercial vehicle business. We continue to build a sustainable, profitable Ford Europe business rooted in an electrified tomorrow.
