To the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022debuted on electric supervan high performance made on the chassis of Ford E-Transit Custom. The super van is pushed by four electric motorspowered by a 50 kWh battery liquid cooled. The total power is 2,000 hpfor an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 2 seconds. The performance of a purpose built frame ready to hit the track, with recent components E-Transit Custom.
Ford Transit SuperVan electric racing van
The electric SuperVan of Ford Pro is a unique concept, which gives the Ford design team the ability to create a bold-looking vehicle that is eye-catching and reflects the full potential of its extreme performance.
THE extravagant wheel archesthe muscular style and the unique livery help to provide the most extreme expression of the Transit’s design, while the fully electric powertrain gave the development team a great deal of freedom, with fewer packaging and cooling restrictions that characterize internal combustion engines.
Ford Transit SuperVan electric, features
The construction of this sporty concept combines the floor of the E-Transit Custom with a steel frame and lightweight composite body panels.
There 50 kWh battery liquid-cooled is mounted in the lower part of the floor, for optimal weight distribution, it can be fully recharged in approx. 45 minutes using a standard quick charger for electric vehicles. The driver can access charging and battery information via the interior touchscreen.

Four electric motors together deliver approx 2,000 hp through an all-wheel drive system, enough to push the incredible van from 0 to 100 km / h in less than two seconds and making it by far the fastest SuperVan ever.
Like any self-respecting van, the electric SuperVan is also equipped with a load compartment behind the driver; a door on the side of the body facilitates loading and unloading. Ford is also developing a system of electromagnetic release safe, controlled via the SYNC screen.

A series of cameras on board can immerse spectators in the impressive high-performance racing of the SuperVan. As in the case of the Ford E-Transit, the driver has the option of viewing camera images in the screen and switch between shots to help maneuver the vehicle.
Ford Transit SuperVan, as is the racing van
The contribution of Ford Performance and STARD to the world of motorsport is immediately evident: the front splitter, the side skirts and the rear diffuser of the body, with an extremely sculpted shape, would be ideal for a racing carwhile the grooves and the boldly designed rear dorsal fin flow into the rear wing to generate downforce and provide more power and grip of the electric SuperVan on the track.

The racing influence continues under the SuperVan’s skin, with double arm suspension in iron of unequal length in each corner. Automotive-style subframes, struts and front and rear brakes provide braking and steering capabilities at the height of enormous straight-line speed.
Ford Transit SuperVan infotainment SYNC
The interior of the Ford Pro electric SuperVan includes a safety cage complete and FIA-compliant racing seats for safety, plus a SYNC large touchscreentaken directly from Ford production vehicles such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which controls advanced connectivity and infotainment systems. If necessary, the driver can take a break from driving, find a charger, connect to WiFi and make calls, all via the SYNC screen.

The touchscreen also allows you to control selectable driving modes that adapt torque, regenerative braking and responses to the commands of the electric SuperVan, to different driving scenarios:
- Road – for the rare cases of “normal” driving
- Track – to balance speed and curves on the track with racing slick tires
- Drag – for maximum acceleration on the track with racing radial tires
- Drift – for spectacular drifting, demonstrations of agility and driving in the snow
- Rally – for optimal performance in rally tests on asphalt and gravel with special tires
Ford Transit SuperVan launch control
Further fine-tuning of performance is ensured by a electronic package which includes traction control, the launch controlthe pit lane speed limiter and three-stage regenerative braking to return energy to the battery, similar to the “L Mode” by E-Transit. At low speed, the Eco mode keeps motors at optimum efficiency and maximizes regenerative braking. For maximum speed, the button E-Boost provides the driver with a temporary increase in power and torque.

This new feature fully brakes one axle while spinning the other, creating impressive burnout on the front or rear axle that help clean and warm the tires before racing.
Ford Transit SuperVan, history
Ford’s first SuperVan was unveiled in 1971 and featured a central engine from the Ford GT40 winner at Le Mansused to create a Transit Mk. 1 different from all the others.

The same formula was taken up and further developed for the SuperVan 2; a fiberglass version of the bodywork of the Transit Mk. 2 was applied to the monocoque and to the V8 Cosworth from 590 hp Ford’s C100 racing car. This vehicle was then reborn as Transit Mk. 3updated version of the SuperVan 3powered by a 650 HP Cosworth HB engine shared with the Formula 1 cars of the time.
