Europeans will soon be getting an electric version of the popular Ford Transit Custom commercial van. Predictably coined the E-Transit Custom, Ford has released limited details and several images of the upcoming EV, which like its gas-burning counterpart isn’t expected to be sold in America.

Photos show the E-Transit Custom painted in a snazzy blue color and wearing a distinctive grille surrounded by a striking light signature. Its face is more assertive than the bug-eyed design worn by its internal-combustion stablemate. The electrified version also has chiseled lines around its wheel arches and across its flanks. Just below the passenger-side headlight is a charging port, but Ford hasn’t revealed the van’s battery capacity or powertrain specs.

Ford Pro, which is responsible for the company’s commercial vehicles, did announce that the E-Transit Custom is expected to have a driving range of around 263 miles on a single charge—we assume this is on the WLTP standard. It’ll also have DC fast-charging capability–because obviously–but maximum charging rates and estimated charging times are currently unknown. We’re told more information will be released this fall, and Ford says the E-Transit Custom will start production in the second half of 2023 at its Otosan factory in Turkey.

As with the full-size Ford E-Transit that’s sold in the U.S., the smaller Custom model will have Pro Power Onboard, which is a built-in AC power source that’s useful at work sites or wherever electricity is needed. Whatever the E-Transit Custom is used for, we’re just bummed out it probably won’t be coming to our shores, especially if the rest of its paint options are as rad as the ’90s vibes given off by the one in these photos.
