Ford Transit City: Affordable Electric Van Launched in Europe
Ford's Transit City electric van, co-developed with Jiangling Motor Corporation, offers a 256 km range and a £27,000 price, targeting urban European fleet operators.
- On Thursday, Ford revealed the Transit City electric van for the European market, co-developed with Jiangling Motor Corporation and built at JMC's plant in Nanchang.
- This launch follows Ford's decision to halt development of a next-generation E-Transit for Western markets due to demand issues; the company now intends to partner with Chinese automakers to bring affordable, high-tech EVs globally.
- Powered by a 56 kilowatt-hour LFP battery, the van delivers up to 256 kilometers of WLTP range, with DC fast charging at 67 kW enabling a 10% to 80% charge in around 30 minutes.
- Priced at approximately $36,000, the Transit City begins deliveries later this year; the larger variant offers 8.5 cubic meters of cargo space and a 1,275-kilogram payload capacity.
- CEO Jim Farley discussed allowing Chinese automakers to build vehicles in the American market through joint ventures with American partners, raising the prospect directly with senior Trump administration officials, according to Bloomberg.
