E-Transit is the best-selling electric cargo van in the United States and Canada, as well as the sales leader in Europe. As demand for the vehicle rises, Ford announced last week it will be boosting E-Transit production at Kansas City Assembly Plant starting next month.
“Businesses looking to adopt battery electric technology is happening at a global scale, and E-Transit – along with the Ford Pro™ one-stop shop of software, services and charging solutions – is at the forefront of that revolution,” said Ted Cannis, Ford Pro CEO. “In its first year on the road, E-Transit has made an immediate impact, and we are just getting started.”
E-Transit has made sharp inroads into driving EV adoption. In the U.S., 6,500 E-Transit vans were sold through December 2022 – including in all 50 states – accounting for more than 60% of the electric van market.
Across the United States and Canada, E-Transit customers have logged at least 12 million miles since the all-electric van arrived in February 2022. In that time, Ford Pro E-Telematics data shows that E-Transit drivers have saved more than 745,000 gallons of gas and more than 4.3 million kilograms of CO2 as compared to comparably sized gas-powered Transit vans.
Its only major rival, at present, is the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, which was revealed last month. Additional rivals are coming in the very near future, mainly the Rivian-built and engineered delivery van that's part of its major deal with Amazon. The E-Transit is currently being used by FedEx in a pilot project.
