Ford Transit Custom plug-in hybrid has the option of geofencing technology to help improve urban air quality. Using live location data, the vehicle will automatically switch to electric drive mode whenever entering low-emission zones.
The geofencing tech need not only apply to city centres: vehicle operators can also create "green zones" to encourage low-emission driving near schools, playgrounds and warehouses. When the vehicle leaves a controlled zone, it automatically switches to the most appropriate drive mode for the next leg of the journey.
"Improving the quality of air – and quality of life – in our towns and cities is a goal that we all have a responsibility to drive towards," said Mark Harvey, Ford's European commercial vehicle mobility director. "The Transit Custom Plug-In Hybrid and its new geofencing feature helps our customers to make a real contribution to that goal without compromising on efficiency or productivity."
