Ford Transit Custom Lease Deals & Business Van Leasing Offers

Positioned between the compact Transit Connect and the larger Ford Transit, the Transit Custom is suitable for tradespeople, delivery companies, service providers and fleet operators that need substantial carrying capacity without the dimensions of a full-size van.

The latest Transit Custom is available with diesel, plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains. Businesses can also choose between short and long-wheelbase panel vans, Double Cab-in-Van models, Kombi versions and other specialist configurations.

Depending on the selected derivative, the Transit Custom offers up to approximately 6.8m³ of load space and payload capacity exceeding 1,300kg. Its relatively low roof height also allows many versions to access height-restricted car parks and loading areas.

Whether you need a single work van, a crew vehicle or a mixed-powertrain fleet, the Transit Custom provides an excellent balance of capability, efficiency and everyday usability.

Ford Transit Custom Business Leasing

The Transit Custom has been developed around the needs of working drivers and commercial fleets. Its broad model range allows businesses to select a van suited to their exact passenger, payload and operating requirements.

Ford Transit Custom business leasing may be suitable for:

• Builders and construction companies
• Electricians and plumbers
• Facilities-management providers
• Couriers and delivery operators
• Utilities and maintenance teams
• Mobile service engineers
• Landscaping businesses
• Cleaning companies
• Local authorities
• Passenger transport providers
• Regional and national fleets

Business Contract Hire provides use of the vehicle for an agreed term and mileage allowance in return for fixed monthly rentals.

At the end of the agreement, the vehicle is normally returned to the finance provider, subject to the contract terms, agreed mileage and applicable fair wear and tear standards.

MPH may also be able to offer Finance Lease, Hire Purchase and outright purchase solutions, depending on your business and the vehicle.

Ford Transit Custom Load Space and Payload

The Transit Custom provides a practical load area designed to accommodate tools, equipment, building materials and commercial goods.

Depending on the selected wheelbase and configuration, features can include:

• Approximately 5.8m³ of load space in selected L1 panel vans
• Up to approximately 6.8m³ in selected L2 panel vans
• Payload capacity exceeding 1,300kg on selected derivatives
• Space for up to three Euro pallets
• Wide side loading door
• Twin rear loading doors
• Low loading height
• Full-height bulkhead
• Load-through bulkhead facility on selected versions
• LED load-compartment lighting
• Multiple load-restraint points
• Optional power-operated side loading doors

The available payload varies according to the engine, powertrain, wheelbase, trim, passenger configuration and optional equipment.

Drivers must include passengers, tools, racking, accessories and any conversion equipment when calculating the remaining payload.

Ford Transit Custom L1 or L2

The Transit Custom is available in two principal wheelbase lengths.

Transit Custom L1

The L1 model has the more compact body and may be better suited to:

• Urban driving
• Restricted parking areas
• Tradespeople carrying tools and equipment
• Local delivery routes
• Businesses that do not require maximum cargo volume

Transit Custom L2

The longer L2 model provides additional load length and cargo volume. It may be more suitable for:

• Bulky equipment
• Longer materials
• Multi-drop delivery work
• Mobile workshops
• Businesses requiring maximum panel-van capacity
• Larger crew-and-cargo configurations

The best option depends on your typical load dimensions rather than cargo volume alone. MPH can help you compare the relevant internal measurements and payload capacities.

Ford Transit Custom Diesel

Diesel Transit Custom models remain a practical option for businesses covering longer distances, carrying heavier loads or operating without dependable charging access.

Selected EcoBlue diesel derivatives offer:

• A choice of power outputs
• Manual and automatic transmissions
• Front-wheel-drive configurations
• All-wheel drive on selected automatic models
• Mechanical limited-slip differential options on selected manual models
• Strong towing capability
• Suitability for higher annual mileages

A diesel Transit Custom may be especially suitable for:

• Regular motorway journeys
• High annual mileage
• Heavy payloads
• Towing
• Rural or remote operation
• Multi-shift businesses
• Drivers without access to workplace charging

Fuel economy and emissions vary according to the derivative, transmission, payload, route and operating conditions.

Ford Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid

The Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery.

It can complete shorter journeys using electric power while retaining a petrol engine for longer journeys or routes where charging is unavailable.

Benefits can include:

• Electric driving for local journeys
• Petrol-engine flexibility for longer distances
• Automatic transmission
• Reduced local tailpipe emissions while driving electrically
• Regenerative braking
• Strong load-carrying ability
• Towing capability on selected derivatives
• Optional Pro Power Onboard functionality

A plug-in hybrid may suit businesses with predictable local routes that can charge the vehicle regularly but still require longer-distance flexibility.

Actual electric range depends on the derivative, battery specification, payload, temperature, driving style, speed and use of cabin heating or air conditioning.

Ford E-Transit Custom

The E-Transit Custom is the fully electric version of the Transit Custom and produces no tailpipe emissions while driving.

Current selected versions offer an official driving range of up to approximately 230 miles, although the precise figure depends on the battery, motor, wheelbase and vehicle specification.

E-Transit Custom features can include:

• Multiple electric motor outputs
• Up to approximately 230 miles of official driving range
• 11kW AC charging
• Rapid DC charging capability
• Towing capacity of up to approximately 2.3 tonnes on selected versions
• Optional Pro Power Onboard
• Automatic transmission
• Connected charging and route-planning technology
• Pre-conditioning while connected to a charger
• Zero tailpipe emissions while driving

The E-Transit Custom may be particularly suitable for:

• Urban deliveries
• Local authorities
• Facilities-management fleets
• Depot-based operations
• Planned regional routes
• Businesses with workplace charging
• Organisations seeking to reduce fleet emissions

Actual range and charging times can be affected by payload, temperature, speed, route, battery condition, driving style and auxiliary equipment.

MPH can help assess your mileage, payload, charging access and vehicle downtime before recommending an electric van.

Ford Transit Custom Double Cab-in-Van

The Double Cab-in-Van combines a separate second row of seats with a retained rear cargo compartment.

Depending on the configuration, it can carry up to six occupants while still providing space for tools, equipment or materials.

It may be suitable for:

• Construction teams
• Installation crews
• Utility companies
• Maintenance providers
• Landscaping businesses
• Mobile engineering teams
• Businesses carrying both employees and equipment

Double Cab-in-Van payload and load dimensions are lower than those of an equivalent panel van because of the additional seats, trim and bulkhead.

Ford Transit Custom Multicab and Kombi

The Transit Custom range also includes configurations designed to offer greater passenger flexibility.

Transit Custom Multicab

The Multicab provides second-row seating while retaining a practical full-length load area alongside or behind the passenger compartment, depending on the selected configuration.

Transit Custom Kombi

The Kombi prioritises passenger flexibility and can provide seating for up to nine people. Removable or configurable seating allows the vehicle to alternate between passenger and load-carrying duties.

These versions may be suitable for:

• Crew transport
• Shuttle services
• Sports organisations
• Community transport
• Construction and utility teams
• Businesses needing flexible passenger capacity

Vehicle classification, taxation and insurance can vary between panel-van and passenger-carrying derivatives, so the individual vehicle should be checked before ordering.

Ford Transit Custom Towing Capacity

Selected Transit Custom diesel derivatives can tow up to approximately 2.8 tonnes, while selected electric and plug-in hybrid versions provide towing capacities of up to approximately 2.3 tonnes.

The precise towing limit depends on the engine, drivetrain, wheelbase, body style, gross vehicle weight and gross train weight.

Payload, passengers and optional equipment can also affect the amount that can legally be towed. Businesses planning to tow regularly should confirm the individual derivative’s plated limits before ordering.

Ford Transit Custom Trims

The Transit Custom range includes several trim levels designed around different business and styling requirements.

Depending on availability, these may include:

• Leader – A practical entry-level work van with essential equipment.
• Trend – Adds useful comfort, appearance and driver-assistance features.

• Ford SYNC infotainment

• Front and rear parking sensors
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane-keeping assistance
• Blind-spot monitoring
• Cross-traffic alert
• Automatic emergency braking
• Pro Trailer Backup Assist
• Delivery Assist
• Keyless entry and start

Driver-assistance systems support the driver but do not replace the need to remain alert and in control of the vehicle.

Pro Power Onboard

Pro Power Onboard can turn selected Transit Custom models into a mobile power source for compatible tools and equipment.

This may be useful for:

• Construction sites
• Mobile technicians
• Outdoor maintenance teams
