About this episode

The first vehicle in Ford's electrification strategy is the Transit Connect van, which goes on sale in the USA in 2010. As part of the strategy, Ford has partnered with Smith Electric vehicles - who are based in the UK, and who have a long history of making electric vehicles and converting regular vans and trucks to battery power. Here, Dan Jenkins of Smith walks us down the production line just after it has closed, and we see the first electric Transit Connect Tourneo (people mover) headed to the US to begin tests and demonstrations.
