Ford Pro E-Transit Custom: Powering Business Forward

The Ford Pro E-Transit Custom stands as a game-changer in the electric commercial vehicle market, combining cutting-edge all-wheel drive technology with a larger battery pack to deliver unmatched performance for businesses. This fully electric one-tonne van addresses key challenges like traction in harsh conditions and range anxiety, ensuring operators remain productive without compromise.

Revolutionary All-Wheel Drive System

Ford Pro has engineered a sophisticated dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) setup for the E-Transit Custom, adding a high-power front electric drive unit to the existing rear-wheel drive configuration. This independent system distributes torque optimally to all four wheels, monitoring road grip up to 50 times per second for seamless adjustments. In slippery scenarios like ice, mud, or steep inclines, the front motor can take over 100% of propulsion if the rear loses traction, providing superior control.

Available in power outputs of 136 HP, 218 HP, and 286 HP, the top-spec AWD model generates up to 630 Nm of torque2d2dover 50% more than rear-wheel drive versions2d2denabling confident acceleration even when fully loaded. This prowess extends to towing, with a braked capacity of up to 2,300 kg, ideal for trailers in demanding environments.

Enhanced Battery and Charging Capabilities

From 2026, new E-Transit Custom models feature a 71 kWh battery, boosting the WLTP combined range to approximately 236 miles. This upgrade adds about 111 km compared to prior 64 kWh packs, supporting longer routes without frequent stops. Fast DC charging at 125 kW replenishes from 10% to 80% in just 29 minutes, with official data suggesting up to 111 km gained in 10 minutes2d2dperfect for quick operational top-ups.

Existing 64 kWh owners benefit from an over-the-air (OTA) software update, slashing 10-80% charge times to 25 minutes, a 14-minute improvement. Integrated with advanced traction controls, the system enhances regenerative braking by up to 50% at low urban speeds, recovering more energy during deliveries.

Design and Body Configurations for Versatility

The E-Transit Custom offers Van and Kombi body styles for cargo or mixed passenger/goods use. Trims span Trend and Limited for everyday needs to rugged Trail and Sport for specialized operations. Exterior updates include an LED light bar linking headlights and a polygonal front grille for a modern aesthetic, paired with practical towing hooks.

• Payload: Up to 1,100 kg with a lower load floor for easier access.
• Pro Power Onboard: Up to 2.3 kW exportable power for tools, lights, or site equipment, doubling as a mobile workstation.
• Security: Enhanced door latches, alarms, and optional lock packs.

Advanced Driver Assistance and Safety Features

Ford Co-Pilot360 suite includes standard traction enhancement for low-grip conditions, plus available Reverse Brake Assist that auto-applies brakes to avoid collisions when reversing. Stability systems brake individual wheels, adjust torque per axle, and correct oversteer/understeer on uneven surfaces. SYNC 4 with a 12-inch display and integrated modem enable full telematics connectivity.
