Transit Connect ICE—History
> Over 600,000 sold since 2003
to customers in 58 countries on
3 continents.
> Introduced to North America in
2009 & its proven to be a big
success.
> Designed, engineered &
manufactured on a dedicated
global commercial vehicle
platform to meet tough
commercial vehicle durability
standards.

Battery Electric—Why Buy?
> Unique combination of car-like driving
dynamics, cargo capacity, accessibility
& low purchase & operation costs.
> Commercial users often travel
predictable, short-range routes with
frequent stop-and-go driving in urban
and suburban environments, therefore
a BEV makes sense.
> For customers seeking sustainable
mobility solutions, the Transit Connect
Electric Vehicle with Azure Force
Drive™ will provide a zero emissions
option.
