Ford has unveiled the all-new E-Tourneo Courier which will go on sale in 2024.
A125PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged petrol-engined version will open for orders this summer, with initial deliveries starting before the end of 2023.
The E-Tourneo Courier has a 100kW (136PS) e‑motor, with drivers able to select from Normal, Eco and Slippery drive modes.
The vehicle offers both 11kW AC and 100kW DC charging options. A typical 7kW overnight domestic charge from 10-100 per cent takes 7.8 hours. At a DC fast charger, drivers can add 54 miles range in 10 minutes and charge from 10-80% in under 35 minutes.
E-Tourneo Courier is one of 10 all-electric vehicles Ford has committed to offering in Europe by 2024, as it targets zero emissions for all vehicle sales in the region by 2035.
The company is investing $50 billion globally through 2026 to achieve a targeted run rate of more than 2 million all-electric vehicles by the end of that year.
“Exciting new products like E‑Tourneo Courier are the future of Ford in Europe – electric, fun, and fuelled by a restless need for adventure,” said Martin Sander, general manager, Ford Model e, Europe.
“Our new all-electric multi-activity vehicle is the latest demonstration of our multi-billion dollar global push to scale EV production and deliver connected, must-have vehicles for our customers.”
The all-electric multi-activity vehicle has a 60-40 split rear bench and offers 44% more boot space than the outgoing Tourneo Courier.
Occupants also benefit from improved shoulder room and headroom, says Ford, as well as a range of convenient stowage options including a configurable centre console, hidden boot cubby and 44-litre frunk.
Amko Leenarts, design director for Ford, Europe, said: “We designed E-Tourneo Courier to help customers get the most out of life – whether out with family and friends or coming home with the rear seats flipped and bikes in the back – and the exterior design expresses that ‘no-nonsense’ character.
“The SUV‑inspired design is rugged outside and roomy inside, while the modern EV details add exclusivity and clearly announce E‑Tourneo Courier as part of Ford’s electric revolution.”
The onboard digital experiences are centred around the ‘digiboard’ instrument panel that features a full digital instrument cluster and Sync 4 infotainment controlled via a large 12‑inch touchscreen.
The fully connected cabin features wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, as well as a phone charging pad.
E-Tourneo Courier will be produced in Craiova, Romania, from the second half of 2024 alongside the Puma crossover.
