Ford Tourneo Custom Plug-in Hybrid passenger van, together with the cargo version Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid, is one of a few new PHEVs promised by Ford for 2019/2020 in Europe.

In the case of vans, the approach is rather unusual as Ford decided to use a series-hybrid driveline configuration with 1.0 liter EcoBoost petrol engine as a range extender, while basically the entire European industry went for short- to medium-range all-electric vans. The 13.6 kWh battery is good for up to 50 km (31 miles) of all-electric range.

The 8-seat Tourneo Custom PHEV is presented at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, so we can take a closer look at the electrified Ford.
