Friday, November 18, 2011 Ford Introduces Transit Connect Electric Wagon
 Ford and Azure Dynamics announced the newest electrified commercial vehicle product on the market, the Ford Transit Connect Electric Wagon. The Wagon is a logical next step for Azure and Ford which first introduced an electrified Transit Connect in December 2010.
The Wagon is considered ideal for businesses that want the flexibility to move either cargo and/or passengers with the efficiencies offered by the electric powertrain. The Wagon is especially well-suited to campus settings like those found at universities, military bases, health care facilities, airports and private businesses where frequent short-range routes are commonly traveled.
Using an advanced liquid-cooled 28 kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery from Johnson Controls, the Transit Connect Electric Wagon can achieve a range of 90 to 130 km on a single charge depending on driving conditions and ancillary power usage. The Wagon has a top speed of 120 km/hr.
