History: Ford Transit Custom MK2 (2023–Present)

In 2023, Ford unveiled the second generation of the Transit Custom, building upon the immense success of its predecessor while addressing the growing needs of modern businesses. With a sharper design, smarter technology, and a range of powertrains—including plug-in hybrid and fully electric options—the MK2 signals a bold step forward in the evolution of the mid-size commercial van. Developed by Ford Otosan and produced at an upgraded, sustainability-focused facility in Yeniköy, Turkey, the new Transit Custom enters a competitive landscape with the tools to stay on top.

Advanced Powertrains and Digital Innovation

The MK2 Transit Custom introduces an entirely new platform designed to accommodate multiple propulsion types. Customers can now choose from advanced diesel engines, a plug-in hybrid variant with 2.5L petrol-electric setup, or the fully electric E-Transit Custom with a range of up to 380 km (236 miles). A reworked suspension setup ensures better driving comfort and reduced cabin noise. On the tech front, the van features Ford SYNC 4 with a 13-inch central touchscreen, over-the-air updates, and advanced driver assistance systems such as intelligent adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and 360-degree cameras—making it one of the most digitally advanced vans ever built by Ford.

Top-Level Safety Ratings

Safety has remained a priority in the MK2’s development. In 2024, the Transit Custom MK2 received the Euro NCAP Platinum rating in its van safety assessment—achieving near-perfect scores in areas like driver assistance, crash avoidance, and occupant protection. This rating places it at the top of its class and underscores Ford’s leadership in commercial vehicle safety innovation.

Production and Market Outlook

Manufactured at the state-of-the-art Ford Otosan Yeniköy plant, the Transit Custom MK2 benefits from a facility powered in part by solar energy and integrated with AI-driven logistics and quality control systems. The model continues to dominate the UK LCV market and has already attracted significant orders from major European fleet buyers. With its focus on electrification, digital integration, and high safety standards, the MK2 Transit Custom is not just a successor—it’s a forward-looking commercial platform designed to meet the next decade of demands in transport and logistics.
