More and more businesses are fortifying sustainability goals to support the improvement of air quality, reduction of noise levels, and at the same time, lowered cost of ownership.
Ford has strongly embraced this vision and is determined to lead the transition to zero emissions by growing its electric vehicle lineup.
2022 will be a mind-blowing model year with the debut of the all-electric version of the world’s best-selling cargo van – the Ford Transit – joining the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 zero emissions lineup.
The all-electric vans are smart, sustainable and strong.
- Incorporated smart technology
Built in the US, the all-electric transit has incorporated smart technology to optimize fleet efficiency that will help achieve employee accountability and delivery of better customer service.
Fleets will enjoy high-speed internet connection and cloud-based services through the Ford Telematics with an embedded FordPass Connect modem featuring a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. This can connect up to 10 devices for insightful data collection. For managers, the Ford Data Services is a holy grail. It consists of tools like geofencing, live map GPS tracking, and vehicle diagnostics.
It also features driver-assist technologies geared to improve driver confidence – standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping System, Post-Collision Braking and auto high-beam headlamps.
- Cost-savings
More than just eliminating trips to the gas station, having all-electric powertrains has even more advantages. It also resonates with less scheduled maintenance and lower operating costs. What’s even more beneficial is that electric vehicle fleet owners may receive benefits such as free parking, access to high-occupancy vehicle lanes and federal, state and local electric vehicle tax incentives.
- Uncompromised cargo capacity
Despite the shift to electric powertrains which usually eat up more space, Ford gave an assurance that the cargo capacity will not be compromised. To ensure it is the right tool for the job, customers have the power to choose their winning chassis. Options include cutaway, cargo van, and chassis cab, with a selection of three roof heights and three body lengths.
The best-selling cargo brand in the world has invested more than $11.5 billion in electrification through 2022 to help create solutions that will help businesses run better.
In 2025, Ford expects electric vehicles to reach 8 percent of the industry.
If you’re for sustainability, you surely can’t say NO to the all-electric Ford Transit.
