Ford Transit City Lease Deals & Business Van Leasing Offers

Every Transit City uses a 56kWh usable lithium iron phosphate battery and a 110kW electric motor producing 150PS and 260Nm of torque. Depending on the body style, the van offers an official combined electric range of up to 158 miles and can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 33 minutes using a suitable rapid charger.

With up to 8.5 cubic metres of load space in the L2H2 van and payloads ranging from 1,085kg to 1,600kg, the Transit City has been designed to deliver serious commercial capability without unnecessary complexity.

Ford Transit City Electric Range and Performance

The Transit City uses a front-mounted electric motor producing 110kW, equivalent to 150PS, together with 260Nm of immediately available torque.

Key performance specifications include:

• 110kW electric motor
• 150PS
• 260Nm of torque
• Front-wheel drive
• Single-speed automatic transmission
• 56kWh usable battery capacity
• Normal, Eco and Slippery driving modes
• Official combined range of up to 158 miles
• Official city-cycle range of up to approximately 237 miles on the L1H1 van

The L1H1 model offers the longest official combined range at approximately 158 miles. The larger and taller L2H2 model has an official combined range of approximately 139 miles.

Actual range will vary according to payload, driving style, route, weather, temperature, vehicle condition and the use of heating or air conditioning.

Charging the Ford Transit City

The Transit City supports both AC workplace charging and public DC rapid charging.

Charging specifications include:

• Up to 87kW DC rapid charging
• 10–80% charging in approximately 33 minutes
• 11kW three-phase AC charging capability
• Approximately 5.5 hours for a 10–100% charge using an 11kW supply
• Approximately eight hours using a 7.4kW single-phase charger
• CCS charging connection
• Battery heating system

For many businesses, charging vehicles overnight at a depot or workplace will provide the most convenient and cost-effective operating model.

Public rapid charging can then be used when additional range is required during the working day.

Ford Transit City L1H1 Van

The L1H1 is the shorter, lower-roof Transit City panel van. At just under five metres long and approximately two metres high, it is likely to be the most suitable version for urban operators.

L1H1 highlights include:

• Up to 6.4 cubic metres of maximum load volume
• Maximum payload of up to 1,085kg
• Maximum internal load length of 2,770mm
• Maximum load width of 1,740mm
• Width between the wheel arches of 1,300mm
• Overall length of 4,985mm
• Overall height of 1,991mm
• Official combined range of up to approximately 158 miles
• Official city-cycle range of up to approximately 237 miles
• Kerbside sliding loading door
• 180-degree rear cargo doors

Its sub-two-metre height could also make the L1H1 more practical for locations with height restrictions, although drivers should always check the posted clearance before entering.

Ford Transit City L2H2 Van

The L2H2 offers additional length and roof height for businesses carrying larger or bulkier loads.

L2H2 highlights include:

• Up to 8.5 cubic metres of maximum load volume
• Maximum payload of up to 1,275kg
• Maximum internal load length of 3,070mm
• Maximum load width of 1,740mm
• Width between the wheel arches of 1,300mm
• Overall length of 5,285mm
• Overall height of 2,285mm
• Official combined range of approximately 139 miles
• Higher side and rear door openings
• Kerbside sliding loading door
• 180-degree rear cargo doors

The L2H2 is likely to appeal to delivery companies and service fleets that need more cargo capacity but still want a van designed primarily for urban routes.

Ford Transit City Chassis Cab

The Transit City chassis cab provides a foundation for specialist bodies and commercial conversions.

Key chassis-cab features include:

• Maximum gross payload of up to 1,600kg before conversion considerations
• Long-wheelbase configuration
• 56kWh usable battery
• 110kW electric motor
• Front-wheel drive
• Single cab with three-seat configuration
• Chassis frame suitable for approved specialist bodies
• Overall cab-and-chassis length of approximately 5,200mm
• Chassis frame length of 2,890mm

Potential conversion applications may include:

• Dropside bodies
• Box vans
• Compact Luton bodies
• Refrigerated vehicles
• Municipal vehicles
• Service and maintenance bodies
• Bespoke last-mile delivery solutions

Final payload will be reduced by the weight of the fitted body, equipment, passengers and accessories. Conversion suitability should therefore be assessed carefully before ordering.

Ford Transit City Payload and Load Space

The Transit City's carrying capacity varies considerably between body styles.

• L1H1 panel van: up to 1,085kg payload and 6.4m³ maximum load volume
• L2H2 panel van: up to 1,275kg payload and 8.5m³ maximum load volume
• Chassis cab: up to 1,600kg gross payload before the weight of the completed conversion is considered

Both panel vans provide 1,300mm between the wheel arches, while the maximum internal load width is 1,740mm.

Businesses should account for the weight of the driver, passengers, optional equipment, racking, tools and carried goods when calculating usable payload.

Ford Transit City Interior and Technology

The Transit City comes in a straightforward Trend specification designed to provide the equipment commercial drivers need without adding unnecessary complexity.

Standard and available equipment includes:

• 12.3-inch central touchscreen
• Seven-inch digital instrument display
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Air conditioning
• Heated driver's seat
• Keyless start
• Dual passenger seat
• Three-person cab
• USB connectivity

The three-seat cab could be particularly useful for businesses regularly sending small teams to customer sites.

Ford Transit City Safety and Driver Assistance

A comprehensive selection of driver-assistance systems is included to support drivers operating in busy urban environments.

Features include:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane-Keeping System

• Stop-and-Go functionality
• Lane Centring
• Front parking sensors
• Rear parking sensors
• Reversing camera
• Driver Alert
• Driver State Monitoring

• Emergency eCall system

These technologies can help reduce driver workload, but they do not replace the need for the driver to remain attentive and in control.

Ford Transit City or E-Transit Courier?

The E-Transit Courier is smaller and may be better suited to lighter loads, tighter streets and businesses that do not require the Transit City's additional payload and cargo volume.

Choose the E-Transit Courier if you prioritise:

• More compact exterior dimensions
• Easier parking and manoeuvring
• Lower-volume urban deliveries
• A smaller and lighter commercial vehicle
• A longer official maximum driving range

Choose the Transit City if you require:

• Up to 8.5 cubic metres of load space
• Payload exceeding one tonne
• A three-person cab
• A high-roof panel van
• Chassis-cab conversion capability
• Greater capacity for parcel and supermarket delivery work

Ford Transit City or E-Transit Custom?

The Transit City is designed as a focused and affordable urban-delivery vehicle. The E-Transit Custom offers a broader range of configurations, more sophisticated options and a longer official electric range on selected derivatives.

The Transit City may be more suitable where:

• Journeys are mainly local and predictable
• High payload matters more than long-distance range
• Vehicles can return to a depot for charging
• A simple standard specification is preferred
• Acquisition and operating costs are closely controlled

The E-Transit Custom may be preferable for mixed urban and longer-distance work or where additional equipment, refinement and configuration choices are needed.

Is the Ford Transit City Suitable for Fleets?

The Transit City has been designed with fleet operations firmly in mind. Its focused specification, substantial payload and predictable electric range could make it particularly effective for depot-based fleets.

Potential fleet advantages include:

• Zero tailpipe-emission operation
• Simplified powertrain and specification choices
• Fixed-route suitability
• Overnight depot-charging capability
• Competitive payload capacity
• Panel-van and chassis-cab options
• Connected vehicle and telematics support
• Driver-assistance technology
• Potentially reduced servicing requirements
• Predictable monthly leasing costs

Before transitioning, businesses should review daily mileage, charging availability, vehicle downtime, seasonal range requirements and the electrical capacity of their premises.
