At Erinwood Ford in Mississauga, Ontario, we're excited to help local businesses transition to more sustainable practices with the E-Transit.

Overview of the E-Transit

Ford's all-electric E-Transit van offers three trims, body lengths, and roof heights. It suits commercial use with Cutaway, Chassis Cab, and Cargo Van models. This van can carry up to 1,814 kg depending on the model.

It travels up to 255 km before needing a charge for the Low Roof version. With a standard SYNC 4 system and a year of E-Telematics for free, businesses find it ideal.

Our team at Erinwood Ford in Mississauga knows this van changes how local businesses operate. The E-Transit is ready to meet Toronto's green goals and busy streets. Let's explore why it’s a win for companies next.

Why it’s a game-changer for businesses

The Ford E-Transit is a game-changer for businesses for many reasons. First, its enhanced battery technology lowers operating costs significantly. This means businesses can save money on fuel and invest it elsewhere.

Plus, with instant torque and a high-capacity battery, the E-Transit offers smooth driving and a substantial range. This is perfect for urban or suburban routes in the Greater Toronto Area.

Businesses also benefit from various charging options that reduce downtime. The spacious interior and cargo area make the E-Transit versatile for different uses. Its advanced safety features protect both drivers and goods during transit.

With these benefits, our team at Erinwood Ford believes the Ford E-Transit sets new standards for efficiency, capability, and green energy in commercial vehicles.

Now let's delve into the green benefits of choosing an E-Transit for your business needs.

Green Benefits of the E-Transit

The Ford E-Transit leads the charge in green benefits for businesses. Running entirely on electricity, it cuts down on harmful emissions, making Toronto's air cleaner and supporting local sustainability goals.

This move aligns our fleet with a future where efficiency doesn't compromise capability. At Erinwood Ford in Mississauga, Ontario, we're excited to show how choosing an E-Transit is not just good for the environment but also smart for your business's bottom line and operational needs.

All-electric efficiency

Our team at Erinwood Ford knows that going all-electric with the E-Transit brings huge benefits. This van does not use gas or diesel. Instead, it runs on electricity alone. You can charge it at home or at fast charging stations across Toronto and beyond.

Once fully charged, the Low Roof version travels up to 255 km. This is perfect for day-to-day business needs in the city.

Electric vans like the E-Transit cost less to maintain than those running on fuel. Without an engine, transmission fluids, and many other parts that a gas vehicle has, you spend less money over time.

Charging an electric van costs less than filling a tank with gas too. Our customers enjoy lower operating costs which help their businesses grow.

Next, we'll look into how this reduces carbon emissions.

Reduced carbon emissions

At Erinwood Ford, our team understands the importance of cutting down carbon emissions. The Ford E-Transit helps do just that. With cars and trucks making up 70% of transportation emissions in Toronto, switching to an electric vehicle like the E-Transit can make a big difference.

It aligns with Toronto's goal under the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy to have 30% electric vehicles by 2030.

The move towards electric vehicles is vital for reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 in Toronto. Every E-Transit on the road means less pollution because it doesn't rely on gas or diesel.

This change supports cleaner air and a healthier city.

Choosing the Ford E-Transit is not just good for business; it’s crucial for creating a sustainable future in Toronto, says Dave Raymond, President of Erinwood Ford.

Supporting sustainability in Toronto

Our team at Erinwood Ford is proud to support Toronto's push for a cleaner, greener future. The city has big plans to cut down on emissions from public transport. By the end of 2025, there will be 400 electric buses (eBuses) moving people around.

That's not all. Half of all buses will produce zero emissions by 2030, aiming for a completely emission-free fleet by 2040.

We also see changes in how subway stations use energy. All stations will have LED bulbs by the end of 2024. These steps towards sustainability make it clear why an electric vehicle (EV) like the Ford E-Transit is perfect for Toronto companies wanting to go green and reduce their carbon footprint.

This move aligns well with our selection of cargo vans that are not only efficient but also tailor-made for different business needs in this bustling urban setting.

Efficiency Features of the E-Transit

The Ford E-Transit brings a blend of efficiency features that make it an attractive choice for businesses. Its Pro Power Onboard™ turns the van into a mobile power source, and lower upkeep costs mean more savings over time.

Our team at Erinwood Ford in Mississauga, Ontario, is ready to show you how this electric van can meet your business needs with its smart design and cost-effective operation.

Pro Power Onboard™ for mobile business needs

Pro Power Onboard™ is a standout feature in the Ford E-Transit, offering up to 2.4 kW of power directly from the van. This means you can power tools and equipment on job sites without needing external generators.

It's a real game-changer for businesses that rely on mobility and efficiency. Our team at Erinwood Ford understands how crucial it is for your operations to run smoothly and effectively, and Pro Power Onboard™ makes that possible.

This unique feature enhances job site productivity by allowing teams to use high-powered electric tools anywhere they park. Imagine being able to plug in saws, drills, or lights directly into your van—eliminating downtime looking for power sources and making every job site more efficient.

At Erinwood Ford in Mississauga, Ontario, we're excited about how this technology supports our customers' business needs. With Pro Power Onboard™, your workplace is wherever you park.

Lower maintenance costs compared to gas vehicles

Electric vehicles like the Ford E-Transit have fewer moving parts than gas cars. This means they often need less care. For example, you don't have to change the oil or fix the exhaust in an electric vehicle.

Our team at Erinwood Ford knows this can save Toronto businesses money over time.

The E-Transit also doesn't have things like spark plugs or timing belts that might cost extra to replace in a gas vehicle. Plus, electricity costs less than gasoline, making it cheaper to run day-to-day.

These savings make the E-Transit a smart choice for local companies looking to lower their operating expenses. Next, let's look at how its optimized range makes it ideal for city and suburban driving.

Optimized range for urban and suburban routes

The Ford E-Transit has a range perfect for city driving. On one charge, the Low Roof model can go up to 256 kilometres. This is more than enough for daily trips in Toronto and nearby areas, where commercial vans usually drive about 119 kilometres each day.

Our team at Erinwood Ford understands that businesses need a van that can handle many deliveries without stopping to recharge often.

We've seen how the E-Transit meets these needs perfectly. Whether you're delivering packages in Mississauga or carrying tools around suburban areas, this van won't let you down. Its range makes it ideal for most urban and suburban routes.
