Where to see the Ford Ranger PHEV and E-Transit Custom in Australia for the first time

Ford is set to show off its two most important electrified commercial vehicles to the *********** public for the first time this week, when the Ranger Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) and E-Transit Custom will be presented in Melbourne.

Both the Ranger PHEV and E-Transit Custom will be on display at Mobility Live, to be held over October 30-31 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

It’ll mark the *********** public debut for both models, each of which is due for showroom release in 2025, giving Ford’s light commercial vehicle customers even more emissions-reducing choices.

The pair will later travel to New South Wales for the Sydney International EV Show, to be held over November 8-10 at the International Convention and Exhibition Centre – the former home of the Sydney motor show and later the *********** International Motor Show.

“It’s really important that fleets wanting to decarbonise have access to vehicles that allow them to continue doing their work without the need to compromise,” said Ford Australia’s General Manager of Electric Vehicles, Myles Hartley.

“Both the Ranger PHEV and E-Transit Custom have all the capability that makes their nameplates legendary around the world, with the added benefit of an electrified powertrain.”

The E-Transit Custom was originally due to arrive in Australia in late 2024, though it’s since been delayed to 2025.

It’s powered by a rear-mounted 160kW/415Nm electric motor, fed by a 74kWh battery pack for a claimed 308km of driving range.

Ford’s best-selling Ranger will receive electrification in the form of a 75kW electric motor sitting between its turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, with a 11.8kWh battery providing power.

Ford is targeting 45km of electric-only driving range from the electric motor and battery, which can also provide assistance to the turbo-petrol engine.

The Ranger PHEV also doesn’t sacrifice the 3500kg towing capacity of its diesel-powered siblings, allowing it to keep up with the pulling ability of the most popular utes on ***** in Australia.

Other Ranger PHEV-specific features include up to 6.9kW of available external power, courtesy of a 2.3kW (2300W) outlet in the cabin and two 3.45kW (3450W) outlets in the bed.

Ford is yet to announce pricing for the Ranger PHEV or E-Transit Custom, both of which will face stiff competition from ******** and ********* rivals.
