2022 Ford E-Transit

Going Electric

If your business already uses electric vehicles, then you’ll be familiar with the many benefits of making the move away from traditional gas-powered vehicles. If not, you may be hesitant to make the switch. It’s a big change with a learning curve involved, and the process of changing over to battery-electric vehicles that need to be charged might feel daunting enough to deter you from the idea, but the reality is much easier to manage. Electric vehicles come with a lot of advantages, especially in the context of work vehicles.

Electric vehicles are less expensive to fuel on average than gas-powered vehicles, and while specially installed 240V outlets can charge them faster, they can easily be charged in standard 120V outlets that you already have in your space, meaning the extra expense of special outlets isn’t a necessity when making the change. Additionally, they require maintenance and servicing less frequently than gas-powered vehicles, and their maintenance is typically less involved and less expensive, meaning that EVs will help to reduce your operating costs in more ways than one.

A battery-electric vehicle like the E-Transit is zero-emissions, meaning that it reduces your carbon footprint and widely expands your capability in terms of situations you can work in. A van like this can be turned on inside enclosed spaces like garages and pose no safety hazard, and their low noise levels can allow you to work late at night if necessary without creating a disturbance.

Making It Your Own

No business can ever get far on a one-size-fits-all option for their work vehicles, which is why the 2022 E-Transit is highly customizable. There are multiple configurations of the E-Transit available, including a cargo van model, a chassis cab model, and a cutaway style. The cargo van allows you to get even more granular with three roof heights– low, medium, and high– and three body lengths– regular, long, and extended. If you need to maximize space inside your van, the extended body length and high roof height will be perfect for you. Alternatively, if you need your van to be more maneuverable and easy to drive, the regular body length and low roof height will be the right choices.

The roomy interior of the E-Transit is also fitted with mounting points and is perfect for custom upfitting. Adding shelves, lighting, custom flooring, and more are easy for a Ford upfitter to do, allowing you to create a van that perfectly fits your needs and allows you and your staff members to work efficiently on the road.

Cutting Edge Technology

Its battery-electric motor is not the only high-tech thing about the 2022 E-Transit. Standard SYNC4 allows you and your drivers to play music, send messages, and answer calls, making it easy to stay connected no matter where the job takes you. Additionally, SYNC4 provides access to the E-Transit’s Connected Built-In Navigation, which updates in real time to make sure you always have the most accurate directions. This feature can also guide you to a public charging station in Ford’s nationwide BlueOval Charging Network, the largest public charging network in America. Co-Pilot 360, Ford’s safety and driver assistance technology, provides you with features such as a Lane Keeping System with Lane-Keeping Alert, Road Edge Detection, PreCollision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Post Impact Braking, Hill Start Assist, and more.
