Ford was fairly quick to electrify its Transit to turn it into the E-Transit after it saw that there was a market for electric commercial vehicles. However, unlike the many startups that showed electric vans, Ford already had its line of Transit vehicles which it repurposed as EVs and now it announced the start of production for the pure-electric E-Transit.
Production is now in progress at the Blue Oval’s Kansas City, Missouri plant as Ford is looking to fill some 10,000 orders it received from 300 different customers ranging from government institutions to private buyers. The biggest single order is from Walmart, for 1,100 E-Transits.
