Medium-duty (and larger) electric trucks can, no doubt, be a significant investment for any delivery operation, but distributors are able to dip their toe into the zero-emissions waters with a range of offerings in the realm of electric light-duty vehicles — which are especially effective in urban markets where fleets stand to realize the most significant benefits of EV technology in general.
Among light-duty EVs currently operating on the market is the Ford E-Transit van, which first made its North American debut just more than a year ago. And, citing data from S&P Global Mobility, USTIPNet, Ford Pro touts the E-Transit as the best-selling cargo van in the United States. Between the vehicle’s launch in early 2022 and the year’s end, Ford reports that it sold about 6,500 E-Transit vans.
