The newgeneration Ford Transit Custom is coming to Australia in both diesel and the fully electric ‘ETransit Custom’ form, with the latter boasting up to 337km of range.

The largely revised commercial lineup features independent rear suspension, a wider sideloading door and a very clever interior design, with a steering wheel that can transform into a tray table at the touch of a button.

Competing with electric options such as the LDV eDeliver 7 and Peugeot EExpert along with the segmentleading Toyota Hiace, the Transit Custom faces some tough competition in Australia.

With the core diesel range arriving now and the ETransit Custom due to arrive in Q4, Chasing Cars travelled to Germany to sample our first drive and find out which drivetrain is best fit for which buyer.
