What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 3, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 2, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 2.4m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 2,488mm, 1,392mm between the wheel arches. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 490kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count.
Electric or diesel?
How the Ford E-Transit DCiV Trend 425L LWB / L3 H2 Standard Range 68kWh 135kW/184PS RWD compares with Ford Transit DCiV Trend 350L LWB / L3 H2 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual FWD, the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Electric looks practical
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 129 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 250kg more (1,489kg against 1,239kg).
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10.6p a mile against 23.4p for diesel: roughly £3,200 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for no more than the diesel after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 184-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.37 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Ford Transit DCiV Trend 350L LWB / L3 H2 2.0L EcoBlue 130PS 6-speed manual FWD's official 32.1mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
