Battery Electric—Why Buy?
> Unique combination of car-like driving
dynamics, cargo capacity, accessibility
& low purchase & operation costs.
> Commercial users often travel
predictable, short-range routes with
frequent stop-and-go driving in urban
and suburban environments, therefore
a BEV makes sense.
> For customers seeking sustainable
mobility solutions, the Transit Connect
Electric Vehicle with Azure Force
Drive™ will provide a zero emissions
option.
