Introducing the All-New Transit City

26/03/2026

The commercial vehicle world has taken an exciting step forward with the arrival of the all‑new Ford Transit City, a purpose‑built, electric‑only van designed to bring affordable, efficient urban mobility to businesses across the UK. Revealed on 26 March 2026, the Transit City redefines Ford’s compact van offering with a sharper focus on cost‑effectiveness, everyday usability, and low‑emission city operation.

At TC Harrison, we’re thrilled to welcome this brand‑new model to the Transit family. If your business needs a reliable, modern electric van without the premium price tag, the Transit City is engineered for you.

The Transit City has been purpose‑designed around the realities of urban driving, tight streets, dense traffic, and the growing demands of clean‑air zones.

Efficient Electric-Only Powertrain

Equipped with a 56 kWh LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery, chosen for durability and cost efficiency.
Offers an expected 158‑mile range: perfect for last‑mile deliveries, service routes and urban operations.
Powered by a 110 kW front‑mounted motor, delivering smooth power ideal for stop‑start city driving.
Fast‑charging capability means 10–80% in as little as 33 minutes via 87 kW DC charging.

This is a van built for real‑world daily use, reliable range, simple charging options, and a drivetrain designed for the cityscape.

Space, Practicality & Versatility

Ford has created the Transit City from the ground up as an entirely new model, rather than adapting an existing van. It sits between the E‑Transit Courier and E‑Transit Custom in size, but offers valuable new capability for fleets.

Two Panel Van Sizes

L1H1 (short wheelbase): Up to 6.4 m³ load space.
L2H2 (long wheelbase, high roof): A generous 8.5 m³, big enough for three Euro pallets.

Great Payload Capacity

Up to 1,085 kg (L1H1) and 1,275 kg (L2H2), making it a true workhorse despite its compact footprint.

Chassis Cab Option

Uniquely in this segment, the Transit City will also come as a chassis cab, opening opportunities for:

Tippers
Refrigerated conversions
Box vans
Custom racking solutions

Conversions from Ford‑approved partners will be available immediately and throughout 2027.

This flexibility means the Transit City isn’t just an urban delivery van, it’s a multi‑purpose platform ready to adapt to the needs of your business.

Smart, Simple Technology Designed to Keep Costs Down

Ford has intentionally kept the Transit City’s interior focused and functional, no unnecessary extras, just the essentials modern fleets require.

Standard features include:

12" touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto (offline system powered by JMC).
Heated driver’s seat
Manual air conditioning
Keyless start
Front & rear parking sensors + reversing camera for tight city manoeuvres

With a single trim level and no optional packs, Ford has ensured the Transit City remains affordable to buy and straightforward to maintain, ideal for fleet standardisation.

Pricing and Availability

Ford is positioning the Transit City as one of its most budget‑friendly electric van, bridging the gap between the compact E‑Transit Courier and larger E‑Transit Custom.

Expected price: £30,000 - £36,000, depending on configuration
Order books open March 2026
First UK deliveries are expected late 2026

This makes it one of the most accessible ways for businesses to enter the world of electric commercial vehicles.
