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.

2025 Ford Transit Custom PHEV, E-Transit Custom priced for Australia
Ford Australia has confirmed pricing for the new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and electric (EV) versions of its Transit Custom van, ahead of the first customer deliveries in the third quarter of 2025. Two variants are available with each powertrain. The Transit Custom PHEV Trend LWB and Sport SWB are the cheapest of the four, priced at $67,590 and $69,990 before on-roads respectively. The E-Transit Custom, meanwhile, is also available in Trend LWB and Sport SWB guises, albeit at considerably higher prices of $77,590 and $79,990 before on-roads respectively. All four electrified mid-size delivery vans are therefore positioned above the existing turbo-diesel Transit Custom variants, which range in price from $56,590 for the base Trend SWB to $62,990 plus on-roads for the Sport Double Cab. A full pricing table for the 2025 Ford Transit Custom range is at the bottom of this story. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. E-Transit Custom Credit: CarExpert With a focus on maximising storage space through efficient underfloor battery packaging, the Transit Custom PHEV and E-Transit Custom both offer the same interior load space dimensions as their turbo-diesel counterparts. VDA load space is therefore 5.2m³ in short-wheelbase variants, and 6.0m³ in long-wheelbase versions. Maximum payload ranges from 1111kg to 1206kg, depending on kerb weights for individual variants, while all electrified models maintain a 2.3-tonne braked towing capacity. Transit Custom PHEV vehicles mate a 2.5-litre petrol engine, producing 86kW of power and 209Nm of torque, with an 111kW/320Nm electric motor. Total system power outputs are quoted at 171kW, with power sent to the front wheels only. Ford claims combined fuel consumption of just 1.7L/100km, along with an electric-only driving range of 54km based on the WLTP cycle, thanks to a liquid-cooled 11.8kWh battery. Transit Custom PHEV Credit: CarExpert In contrast, E-Transit Customs are powered by a single, rear-mounted motor producing 160kW and 415Nm, making them rear-wheel drive. This is fed by a 64kWh battery pack, and WLTP electric driving range is quoted at either 301km or 307km for LWB and SWB models respectively. Ford has also fitted a heat pump to all E-Transit Customs, while also incorporating a one-pedal driving mode as seen on the all-electric Mustang Mach-E. For context, turbo-diesel Transit Customs utilise a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 125kW and 390Nm. These models are front-drive only, and have a claimed fuel economy of 8.0L/100km. E-Transit Custom Credit: CarExpert Inside, the Transit Custom's standard three-abreast seating arrangement has been retained, while all models feature a 12-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. E-Transit Customs gain Ford's Secure Visibility Pack as standard, which offers a digital rear-view mirror via a camera mounted on the rear load door, and removes the load area glazing o improve security. This pack is optional on diesel and PHEV variants. Safety gear for both the EV and PHEV Transit Customs includes intelligent adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane-keeping aid with lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, trailer sway control, side wind stabilisation, and a 180-degree rear-view camera. A full list of E-Transit Custom equipment will be released closer to launch, and we'll detail PHEV variants in a separate price and specs article.
