Ford Pro extends E-Transit Custom van line-up with new AWD model
Ford Pro has introduced a new 'high-capability' all-wheel drive (AWD) model, adding to its electric E-Transit Custom van line-up.
Scheduled for launch in spring 2026, this new AWD variant aims to meet the needs of customers seeking improved traction in the Nordic, Alpine, and Highlands areas, as well as for leisure vehicle users.
Ford has created a new AWD system for the E-Transit Custom by developing the current layout of rear-wheel drive with an extra 'high-power' electric drive unit for the front wheels.
This configuration ensures 'optimal' torque distribution to all four wheels, which is essential for maintaining traction on steep inclines and during harsh driving conditions like ice and mud.
In addition to the AWD capabilities, the E-Transit Custom will be available in various versions, including the Trail series.
The launch will coincide with the release of the AWD version of the E-Tourneo Custom multi-activity electric vehicle.
Ford Pro will reveal more product details and specifications for these models as the launch date approaches.
Last month, Ford commenced the mass assembly of vehicle drive battery packs in three different sizes for exclusive use in Ford's new generation of electric vehicles, the Ford Explorer and Ford Capri, with both vehicles built at the Cologne Electric Vehicle Center.
In May, Ford Motor announced an increase in price on various models produced in Mexico, attributing the hike to the recent US tariffs.
The affected ones include the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, Maverick pickup, and Bronco Sport, with increases up to $2,000 on some models.
