Ford Transit City and Ford Pro service expansion

Overview

Ford has announced the upcoming launch of the Transit City, an electric light commercial vehicle aimed at the last-mile delivery and urban service markets. In Brazil, the vehicle will be available in three configurations—a regular roof van, a high roof van, and a chassis-cab—all imported from China through a partnership with Jiangling Motors Corporation. The electric model features a 56 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery with an estimated range of 254 km.

Expanding on this launch, Ford Pro introduced the vehicle's full body spectrum at the IAA Nutzfahrzeuge in Hannover, noting that it is scheduled to reach dealers in the fourth quarter. To address rising competition and sales declines, the commercial division is also pivoting toward data-driven solutions. Ford Pro is launching new telematics services, referred to as ‘Uptime Services’, which leverage data from 1.2 million connected vehicles to analyze maintenance needs, order spare parts, and coordinate appointments to minimize vehicle downtime for fleet operators.
