The world premiere of the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan

The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan has been produced in just one unit, and Ford's design team was given the freedom to create a look that captures attention and reflects the car's extreme performance. The unique look of the model is due to, among other things, impressive ring arcs, muscular style, and unique coloring. In addition, the all-electric transmission allowed the development team more freedom to implement compared to internal combustion engines.

"Being able to be part of the story of the iconic SuperVan and imagine what it could look like in the 21st century was an opportunity of dreams," says Amko Leenarts, Director, Design, Ford of Europe. "SuperVan's fourth model is designed to be the fastest and most extreme, yet retain Transit's DNA. The proportions are more dramatic than in the Ford E-Transit Custom we designed, and the light bar that spans the entire bow creates a futuristic look for the car."

The structure designed for SuperVan's motorsports combines E-Transit Custom's base plate and lightweight composite body structures. The unique 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery is installed to achieve optimal weight distribution and low center of gravity. The 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery can be fully charged in about 45 minutes using a standard charger for electric cars. The driver can monitor the charge and battery status from the touch screen in the cab.

The four electric motors of the four-wheel-drive Ford Pro Electric SuperVan together produce about 2,000 horsepower. As a result, the van accelerates from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour at an astonishing rate in less than two seconds, making it both the fastest and cleanest SuperVan ever.

As with any good van, the Electric SuperVan has a load compartment behind the driver. Loading and unloading are accessible through the side door, and Ford is developing an electromagnetic opening system that can be operated via a SYNC display.

The car has several built-in cameras that allow audiences worldwide to participate in SuperVan performance during impressive track runs. As with the Ford E-Transit, the driver sees the camera input on the cab screen and can decide which camera image to use to control the car, especially in tight spaces.

The influences from motorsport on Ford Performance and STARD are immediately visible in the car; the dramatically shaped air distributor in the front, side skirts, and rear diffuser could also be found in a race car. Radically shaped stern cuts and a back flap direct air into the rear wing, improving SuperVan's downforce and grip on the track

The influences from motorsports also continue under the basket. For example, each corner of the car has double support arms of different lengths. In addition, the front and rear subframes, uprights, and brakes of the motorsport level guarantee the braking and steering ability required at enormous straight speeds.

The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan's cab features FIA-compliant roll bars, racing seats, and a large SYNC touch screen, also available in Ford production cars, to control advanced connectivity and infotainment systems. If necessary, drivers can plan a route via the SYNC screen, search for a charger, connect to WiFi, and make calls.

Through the touch screen, it is also possible to select the most suitable driving mode for the current situation in the Electric SuperVan, which affects the car's torque, braking energy recovery, and reaction.
