The New Ford Transit City Is A High-Tech Electric Van With Chinese Roots
"The Transit City will come in three distinct body styles: low-roof and high-roof options, and a stripped-down chassis cab configuration that can serve as a donor vehicle for specialized commercial applications."
"Power comes from a 56 kilowatt-hour lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery delivering up to 256 kilometers (160 miles) of WLTP range, making it suitable for last-mile city use cases."
"Ford has been candid about China's EV prowess, even showing intent to partner with Chinese automakers to bring affordable, high-tech EVs to Western markets."
Ford's Transit City electric van is designed for last-mile urban applications and will be manufactured in China. It shares its platform with the JMC Touring and features a lithium-iron phosphate battery. The van will be available in three body styles: low-roof, high-roof, and a chassis cab. This model represents Ford's strategy to leverage Chinese EV technology for the European market, especially after deciding against a next-generation E-Transit due to demand issues in Western markets. The Transit City aims to meet the growing demand for high-tech commercial vehicles in Europe.
