Ford bolsters electric van line-up

Ford's all-out electric reinvention is gathering pace as it introduces the new E-Transit Courier, the crucial electric variant of its smallest van.

The second-generation Courier arrives hot on the heels of the new Explorer SUV to join the mid-sized E-Transit Custom and full-sized E-Transit. It will be built at Ford's Craiova plant in Romania alongside the Puma crossover, with which it shares a platform. Turkish joint-venture partner Ford Otosan has taken ownership of the Craiova plant and invested some £430 million in adapting the second production line, on which the Ecosport crossover was previously built, to produce the new small van.
