Keep your business on track with Ford Pro and the all-new E-Transit Custom

Ford understands that working together provides the best outcomes for your business. The all-new E-Transit Custom aims to do just that; a zero-emissions take on the versatile van we all know and love, providing all the tools you need to maximise uptime and get the job done.

Robust and reliable, the E-Transit Custom van is available in a range of different body styles suited to meet your business needs - Panel Van, Double Cab in Van (DCiV), Kombi and an innovative Multicab option combining second row seating and full-length loadspace. While its practical all-electric range of up to 209 miles and DC fast charging ability helps your fleet become more efficient.

The all-electric E-Transit Custom features up to 6.8cbm of loadspace, a 1,088kg maximum load capacity and a 2.3-tonne towing ability, offering all the trusted features and durability you’d expect from the UK’s best-selling van. To round things off, you can benefit from the £5,000 Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG) hassle-free, as this is applied by the dealer at point of registration.

But Ford goes further for you, keeping your business on track with essential software and services that help deliver the solutions you need: welcome to Ford Pro.

What is Ford Pro?

Ford Pro puts everything you need in one place. Ford’s mission is simple: to make running your commercial vehicles as convenient as possible; saving you time and money with software solutions that are fully focused on your business. Whether you're an owner-operator with a single van, or you're running a large fleet, Ford Pro provides the flexibility to allow you to pick the elements you need for a complete, end-to-end commercial vehicle solution - all seamlessly connected, and helping to increase vehicle uptime and maximise productivity.

But what does Ford Pro actually do for your business? Ford has identified five key areas, to create an integrated one-stop shop that can be tailored to your fleet. Let’s take a look…

Software

Ford Pro Software offers you a suite of digital tools built on real-time vehicle data - each designed to help maximise productivity by delivering connected, always-on commercial vehicle and fleet uptime services. With the advantage of live vehicle health and telematics data, Ford Pro can provide actionable information, to help better manage your electric fleet.

Depending on the size and specific requirements of your business, you can choose to access various software platforms. Ford E-Telematics is a digital tool that’s offered free for a 12-month trial period, giving you the ability to take ultimate care of your E-Transit Custom and wider fleet of Ford electric vehicles. Enhanced insights and alerts let you keep track of individual vehicle locations, charging status, and running costs, while driver behaviour scores and in-vehicle coaching can help to improve driving practices and overall efficiency of EV’s. You can also view vehicle location and charge status on a live map, while any unauthorised usage of the vehicle can trigger alerts.

The complimentary Ford Pass mobile app is able to keep you connected with your fleet, pairing with vehicles that are fitted with the latest FordPass Connect Modem technology. For added peace of mind, you can lock/unlock vans using the app and, specifically for models with automatic transmission, utilise a remote start function to avoid any unnecessary delays waiting to de-ice the windscreen or defogging windows. Plus, there’s the option to check key health information using the My Garage section of the app - all helping to reduce the administrative burden of managing a fleet.

Ford Pro Service

Ford understands that it’s vital for a business to keep its fleet on the road and, with Ford Pro Service, you’ll benefit from a suite of specialist capabilities including extended opening hours, same-day inspection, Mobile Service, while-you-wait Express Service and easy-to-access online service booking. 

All new Ford Pro vehicles include FordLiive, a complimentary connected service that works seamlessly with all of this targeted software to keep your local Ford Transit Centre better informed of your vehicle or fleet status. It means that before your vehicle reaches the workshop your dealer will have been able to identify the required work, plus any upcoming issues and create the best schedule to keep your business moving without delay. And, to add another layer of support, the FordLiive Centres operate with dedicated FordLiive agents to offer you the highest level of professional care and attention.

Ford Pro Charging Services

Once you’ve made the switch to an all-electric van, you’ll need access to efficient charging options that work for your business. From transition planning, through to infrastructure and day-to-day management, Ford has got it all covered, with home, depot, and public charging solutions. And it’s not just charging, Ford Pro can help with central billing, home reimbursement, charging management and other EV-specific fleet E-Telematics tools, too.

Ford Pro FinSimple

Giving you confidence to take your business to the next level, Ford Pro financing provides you with an experienced fleet team offering direct access to flexible lines of credit, and simple solutions to make leasing or purchasing your work vehicles easy. It’s financing made simple - establishing clear credit lines so that you receive quick decisions for any vehicles added to your fleet. And because your credit line is reviewed annually, there is less paper work to deal with.

Ford Pro Vehicles

Running a commercial fleet can be hectic at the best of times, so you’ll find Ford Pro offers exceptional value - especially when the time comes to make the move to all-electric power. Making it quick and simple for you to find the right Ford commercial vehicle, or get it made-up to your precise specification, Ford Pro is on hand to help guide you along the way. And if you need something a little more bespoke, it can help you through each step of the vehicle conversion process, too.
