Eco Factor: Zero-emission vehicle powered by electric motors.
Ford will unveil the production version of its upcoming Transit Connect electric delivery van at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show to be held later this week. The company announced last year that it will be building an all-electric version of its popular delivery van, which will be offered to fleet customers in the U.S. later this year.
The company is working with Azure Dynamics on the vehicle, which will run on lithium-ion batteries sourced from Johnson Controls-Saft. The electric delivery van will provide an operating range of about 80 miles on a single charge.
