Ford Tourneo Custom Plug-In Hybrid first view
As part of a strategy to include more electrified vehicles in its range, Ford will begin deliveries of the eight-seat Tourneo Custom Plug-In Hybrid towards the end of this year.
The powertrain – which is also going to be offered in the cargo-carrying Transit Custom – sees the front wheels permanently driven by an electric motor / generator unit. Energy is stored in an under-floor, liquid-cooled, 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, while a 1.0 litre EcoBoost petrol engine ‘range extender’ and variable regenerative braking provide charge when travelling.
Of course, a stationary Tourneo Custom Plug-In Hybrid can be topped up via the front bumper’s charging port as well. The full process takes five and a half hours using an ordinary 240 volt / 10 amp domestic socket, but that time reduces to three hours if a commercial 240 volt / 16 or 32 amp supply is available.
Official efficiency figures have yet to be published. However, Ford’s target distance for the zero-emission, pure-electric ‘EV Now’ driving mode is 31 miles (50 kilometres).
