Consumers Around The World Are Ready For Green Delivery As Ford Prepares To Unveil E-Transit On Nov. 12

by Ford | October 29, 2020
On November 12, Ford officially unveils the zero-emission, all-electric E-Transit – a new version of the world's best-selling cargo van1. And it's arriving at a time when Americans – and others around the globe – are ready to embrace the potential of green delivery.
In all three countries, more than half of respondents say they'd choose an electric-powered delivery service over a gas-powered one if price and arrival times were the same, with 54 percent in the U.S. and nearly 58 percent in the U.K. saying so. And even if they have to wait longer for a delivery via zero-emissions vans, 43 percent of Americans and almost 50 percent Brits say they would do so.
The world – and the way we power our vehicles – is changing. It's why the time is right for a new type of Transit, something that remains the backbone of commercial business while serving both our community and the environment. Never has there been a better time to realize that doing the right thing is good for business – ours and yours.
Tune in on Nov. 12 to see how Ford is leading the charge with the reveal of the zero-emission, all-electric E-Transit.
