Wednesday, May 25, 2011 5 New Transit Connect Electric Orders In Ontario
 Azure Dynamics Corporation announced 5 new Ford Transit Connect Electric van sales for Canada, including a four-unit sale to the City of Toronto.
The City of Toronto ordered four Transit Connect Electric vans through Eastcourt Ford Lincoln in Agincourt, ON, while one has been ordered for the University of Toronto through Oakland Ford Lincoln in Oakville, ON.
The Ford Transit Connect Electric utilizes an advanced lithium-ion battery from Johnson Controls to achieve a range of 50 to 80 miles depending on auxiliary usage and drive cycle and is rechargeable using either a 240-volt or standard 120-volt outlet. Commercial vans generally return to a central location at the end of each driving cycle making for easy overnight recharging. Use of the vehicles will also reduce fuel and maintenance costs, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
