Chicago 2010: Ford Transit Connect Electric uses the "Force"

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Filed under: Chicago Auto Show , Minivan/Van , Work , Ford Ford Transit Connect Electric – Click above for high-res image gallery As expected , Ford brought the latest (and greatest?) incarnations of the Transit Connect utility van to the Chicago Auto Show today. The battery-powered Transit Connect Electric was up first, perhaps because it fits so well into Ford’s strategy of vehicle electrification (see also: Focus Electric coming next year, followed by a plug-in hybrid and a next-gen hybrid in 2012). At the very least, this is Ford’s first battery-powered vehicle, said product development vice president Derrick Kuzak.
