| 摘要： | Every manufacturer would like to describe their latest vehicle as the most important new arrival for years. However, with the launch of the E-Transit, Ford could justifiably lay claim to that title. The company may have come relatively late to the electric van sector, but the E-Transit moves the game on in many ways. It is powered by a 68kWh battery pack, positioned beneath a load floor that is just a few mm above that of the diesel rear-driven model. The van has a rear axle-mounted drive motor, that is offered with a choice of 135kW (179bhp) or 198kW (261 bhp) of power. While both of those numbers are higher than any of the company's diesel offerings, the two motor outputs both come with 430Nm of torque, which is more in line with the diesel vans. Given the instant full-torque delivery of an electric motor, though, it is also the more important number when it comes to driving the E-Transit, which accelerates effortlessly, from almost any speed. Ford quotes a WLTP driving range of up to 196 miles. That will be influenced by payload, ambient temperature, speed and driving behaviour, but will probably correspond to a realistic urban mileage for many customers of at least 150 miles. With many manufacturers stating that at least 70% of European van operators seldom travel more than 60-70 miles in a day, that should solve any range worries. |
