Domestic Intelligent Manufacturing Empowers Global Success: Pure Electric Commercial Vehicles Open the Door to the High-End European Market

The all-new Ford Transit City® pure electric commercial vehicle officially rolled off the production line at Jiangling Motors' Xiaolan plant, with the first batch of approximately 1,000 vehicles soon to be loaded onto ships for overseas markets. This is Ford China's first pure electric commercial vehicle exported to developed markets such as Europe, fulfilling its "In China, For the World" product strategy and representing recognition of domestic manufacturing capabilities in high-barrier overseas markets.

This pure electric van, specifically designed for urban logistics, is a new product in the legendary Transit family. It made its global debut in Europe in March 2026. The model offers three body versions: L1H1 van, L2H2 van, and single-cab chassis, with a maximum payload of 1600 kg and a maximum cargo box volume of 8.5 cubic meters, suitable for various urban last-mile delivery operations. The vehicle is powered by a 56 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 110 kW front-mounted motor, offering a maximum WLTP range of 254 km. A 10-minute fast charge adds 50 km of range. Compared to traditional diesel vehicles, maintenance costs are expected to decrease by 40%, and high-voltage components come with an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty. The vehicle is equipped with a full suite of driver assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist, providing comprehensive intelligent features to meet the stringent safety and intelligent requirements of developed markets.

The product was jointly developed by Ford's global engineering team and Jiangling Motors, adhering to Ford's globally unified R&D and quality control standards throughout the entire process. The entire vehicle underwent high-intensity durability testing, simulating over 240,000 km of real-world use over 10 years. Specific durability verifications were conducted on core components such as the cargo box door and the three-electric system, specifically addressing the frequent start-stop characteristics of urban operations. The Jiangling Xiaolan factory is part of Ford's global manufacturing system, ensuring the stable and reliable quality of every exported vehicle.

Looking back at their cooperation, Ford and Jiangling established a strategic partnership in 1995, with the domestically produced Ford Transit officially rolling off the production line in 1997. After more than 30 years of development, the cooperation model has been upgraded, from introducing overseas products to exporting Chinese-made products. The all-new Ford Transit City® has obtained E1 EU information security certification, meeting EU ESG regulatory requirements. Its product plan covers 52 countries and regions across 5 continents, focusing on 1-ton-class urban last-mile logistics scenarios, creating a competitive advantage of "European standards, Chinese speed." In the future, this model will complement the E Transit Custom, solidifying Ford Pro's product portfolio in its segment. The first batch of vehicles will be delivered to the European market by the end of the year.
