Ford Transit History: A Legacy of Hard-Working
Versatility
Transit has provided customers with the power of choice across
cargo, cutaway, chassis cab and passenger variants.
Transit Works Hard Across
America
280,000+ companies
76 industries
44,000+ service companies
37,000+ construction companies
21,000+ wholesale/retail companies
5,000 manufacturing companies
4,800 state & local governments
2,300 utility services companies
“We’ve assembled more than 1.2 million Transit vans in the last
10 years, and 99% of Transit vans are still on the road, working
hard for customers today,” said Tim Baughman, Ford Pro general
manager. “It’s America’s bestselling commercial van because it’s
Built Ford Tough, and businesses on every street corner rely on
Transit to keep the country moving—from plumbing to carpentry and
yes, delivery, too.”
After just six months in production, Transit became America’s
bestselling commercial van1 in late 2014 and outsold every other
van in America, including minivans, before the end of 2016. And
Ford has continued to invest in new variants and innovations across
the lineup, in 2020 adding optional all-wheel drive and unveiling
the E-Transit electric van, and introducing Transit Trail™, its van
life derivative, to the lineup in 2022.
Since beginning U.S. production in April 2014, more than 1.2
million Transit vans have been assembled at the Kansas City
Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri.2 And 99% of all Transit vans
sold in the past 10 years are still on the road.3
Enhancing Range to Reach Even More Industries
E-Transit has quickly become the electric van of choice in
America,1 Canada4 and Europe,5 thanks to its versatility.
E-Transit, America’s bestselling electric van,6 has saved customers
more than 3 million gallons of gas and over 25 million kg of CO2
output since joining the Transit family in 2022.7 According to the
EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, that’s the same as
planting 413,377 tree seedlings and letting them grow for 10
years.
New for the 2024 model year, Ford Pro enhances range capability
on E-Transit, offering an overall estimated range of 159 miles8 on
low-roof cargo van models with 89 kWh of usable energy,9 which
supports work covering longer distances and provides more
capability to unlock electric solutions for new use cases, like
refrigerated delivery. The additional range over the previous model
is an increase of 26% on low-roof8 and a 32% increase on high-roof
models.8
Leveraging Ford Telematics data, Ford analyzed more than 2.5
million trips, totaling 30 million miles, to understand that the
average daily range for commercial vans in the U.S. is 74 miles.
And E-Transit with enhanced range maintains the same 266 hp and 317
lb.-ft. of torque as the prior model.10
Registration data shows that customers agree E-Transit owns
work, serving more industries and more vocations than any other
electric van.11
E-Transit Owns Work
5,500+ companies
65 industries
600+ service companies
460+ construction companies
300+ wholesale/retail companies
222 state & local governments
90 manufacturing companies
90 utility services companies
Faster charging: New dual onboard chargers enable the
E-Transit battery to charge faster than ever. The 2024 E-Transit
can charge at a peak power of 176 kilowatts (kW).12 Fifteen minutes
on a DC fast charger (180-plus kW) is estimated to add 67 miles of
range on a 2024 E-Transit cargo van low-roof configuration12—a 49%
increase over the prior battery. And the 2024 E-Transit will charge
from zero to 100% in just six hours and 11 minutes when using the
now-available Ford Pro Series 2 80A charging station12—22% faster
than the prior battery—providing a full charge overnight.
Pro Power Onboard: Available across the E-Transit van
lineup, Pro Power Onboard13 provides 2.4 kW of power and is
operable while the vehicle is in motion and while charging,
enabling users to plug in a laptop, tools or other power equipment
on the go or the jobsite.
E-Transit is available in more configurations than any other
all-electric commercial van from a full-line automaker, offering
two lengths, three roof heights, three body styles and up to 487
cubic feet of cargo volume.
Order banks for the 2024 E-Transit with enhanced range will open
this spring, with deliveries expected to start later this year.
2024 E-Transit with enhanced range MSRP begins at $51,095.14
E-Transit may also qualify for the Commercial Clean Vehicle Tax
Credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle.15
