[2] The Ford Transit Custom was unveiled at the 2012 Commercial Vehicle Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England.

[6] It was succeeded in 2017 by a 2.0-litre EcoBlue turbodiesel that was compliant with Euro 6 emissions standards and offered comparable output levels.

[7][8] An ECOnetic package was available for the lowest-output model, which added an automatic engine start-stop system, low rolling resistance tires, and electronic controls to drive consumption and emissions down to 5.7 L/100 km (50 mpg‑imp; 41 mpg‑US) and 148 g/km (8.4 oz/mi) of CO2, respectively.

Assembled at Ford Vietnam manufacturing facility, it is offered in Trend and Titanium (7 seater, SWB) variants with 2.0 L EcoBoost inline-4 petrol engine (rated at 203 horsepower and 300 Nm) with 6-speed automatic transmission as the single powertrain option.

[16] In February 2023, the Jiangling Ford joint venture launched a facelifted version of the outgoing first generation for the Chinese market called the Transit V362.

Like the panel van, the MPV will be available in electric, plug-in hybrid and diesel versions, as well as the Active crossover variant.

Key specifications include an estimated range of 263 mi (423 km) using the WLTP driving cycle.

[24] The 400 V traction battery of the E-Transit Custom uses the same pouch cells as the Ford F-150 Lightning, with a total useable capacity of 74 kW-hr.

[25] Only models sold in Continental Europe and the British Isles are shown, overseas territories often have different offerings.
