E-Transit commercial van - Ford

United States

American auto giant Ford took the wraps off an electric vehicle Thursday morning that launches the company squarely into the growing movement to electrify fleets and last-mile delivery in cities.

The E-Transit cargo van is an electric version of its already-popular cargo van. It'll also have a feature that can turn the van's battery into an onboard generator that can power tools such as belt sanders.
