The Multinational Ford Announced Its New Concept of 2,000 HP Electric SuperVan at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England.
The new Ford Transit Van has a much stronger electric sister on the performance side. It is the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan Concept, which has the power of about 19 Transits, adding no less than 2,000 hp to its four wheels, and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 2 seconds. This is just another chapter in Ford’s SuperVans history. It all started in 1971 when the brand put the V8 engine from the Le Mans-winning GT40 into a first-generation Transit. This was repeated in the 1980s and 1990s with SuperVans 2 and 3. Now, in its fourth edition, the SuperVan returns transformed into a high-powered electric model.
Differential: Power + Performance
Unlike previous SuperVans, which were extremely compromised in the cargo area due to gasoline engines, this one still has a large cargo space (despite the clear aerodynamic cuts at the rear) and a side door that opens for loading and unloading.
Ford wants to showcase more than just the body and raw speed: this SuperVan has plenty of technology, including load monitoring services. What has been exciting automotive industry enthusiasts is the idea of Drag, Drift, and Rally modes, as well as the “tire cleaning mode,” which locks one axle and spins the other to “clean and heat the tires before performance.”

New Details of Ford’s Electric SuperVan Have Been Revealed
The body features lightweight composite panels, including a race-ready front splitter, side details, and a rear diffuser. It is especially notable for its rear section, where air flows freely through the hollow corners of the body.
Other visual highlights include the widened wheel arches, robust stance, solid roof, motorsport wheels, and unique paint. Developed in secret by Ford Performance and electrification experts in rally and racing STARD in Austria, the model called Electric SuperVan features unequal-length double wishbone suspension at each corner, as well as automotive-grade front and rear subframes, mounts, and brakes.
Ford’s Electric Van Battery Utilizes Liquid Cooling System
A custom 50 kWh liquid-cooled battery is mounted for ideal weight distribution and a low center of gravity.
Ford reports that the package can be fully recharged in approximately 45 minutes using a standard electric vehicle fast charger.
The engineering team also leveraged the full potential of electric propulsion, with fewer space and cooling restrictions than are typically found in combustion engines.
The Ford Pro Electric SuperVan Concept debuted this weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with French driver Romain Dumas, the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, behind the wheel.
