RE: Ford unveils new E-Transit Courier

[samoht]

For all the controversy over electrification, I have to say that loud, smelly, smoky diesel vans hammering around residential areas and then left idling like tractors while the driver nips in to deliver a parcel are a noticeable annoyance, so to me the electrification of delivery vans is a big positive for everyone, not just the drivers.

now Ford has the E-Transit Courier to vie for buyers’ attention with Vauxhall-Toyota-Peugeot-Citroen quadrumvirate of compact electric loud haulers (the Combo-e, Proace City Electric, e-Partner and e-Berlingo - told you there were a lot). An all-new, group-up design

I eventually worked out that the intended words are probably 'load' and 'ground' respectively.

Surely they could have made more of an effort to shoe-horn an inappropriate legacy name in?

The New Cortina-E Van or maybe the New StreetKa E-Van?

Ooo, I know. Ford GT E-SuperVan.

Until they can do 500 miles on a charge we would stick with diesel

My diesel transit custom can barely manage 300 miles to a tank
