Ford confirms specs for all-new E-Transit Courier at IAA reveal
Ford has debuted the E-Transit Courier in Europe just weeks ahead of its official launch.
Showcased at IAA Transportation 2024, the upcoming compact electric van joins the ICE versions launched earlier this year and completes the Transit line-up.
The new Transit and E-Transit Courier were unveiled some 18 months ago but full details of the electric powertrain were limited.
Ford has now confirmed a useable battery capacity of 43kWh for the E-Transit Courier, providing up to 186 miles/300km of range (WLTP). It also delivers a 700kg payload and 25% more load space than the previous-generation Transit Courier.
The brand has also now confirmed that the E-Transit Courier will be able to charge at up to 100kW DC, giving a 10-80% charge in around 23 minutes. Ford has previously said an onboard 11kW charger will allow 10 to 100% charging using AC three-phase power in 5.7 hours.
The E-Transit Courier will also enable ‘one-pedal’ driving with regenerative braking.
Onboard equipment includes a pair of 12-inch displays, one for the driver, the other for the infotainment, which features Ford’s Sync4 cloud-connected in-car communication and entertainment system.
Production of the E-Transit Courier is scheduled to start in late 2024, with customer deliveries in 2025.
At IAA, the E-Transit Courier joins the E‑Transit, E-Transit Custom and Transit Connect PHEV on display, completing the Transit EV line-up.
IAA also marked the global public debut of the all-new Ranger PHEV, while Ford also revealed additions to its connected services with latest end-to-end charging solutions, new logbook features in Ford Pro Telematics and enhanced uptime through FordLiive.
