Peugeot E-Expert vs Ford E-Transit

What's the difference?

French manufacturer Peugeot is at the cutting edge of electric commercial vans in Australia, having introduced its E-Partner small van (under 2.5-tonnes GVM) in 2023 before recently adding its new E-Expert in the popular mid-size segment (2.5 to 3.5-tonne GVM).

We recently spent a working week aboard the E-Expert to see if it has what it takes to provide a genuine zero-tailpipe-emissions alternative to Toyota’s dominant diesel-only HiAce.

Long before Tesla EVs, there were electric golf buggies.

From the first half of last century, they began quietly ferrying birdie and eagle enthusiasts around their favourite courses.

For many, these have been their first (and only) experience of electric vehicles (EVs) at work.

Now, the blue-collared Blue Oval mob has this – the all-new E-Transit Custom.

Designed to take on other electric mid-sized vans such as the LDV eDeliver7, Peugeot E-Expert and the Mercedes-Benz Vito Electric, it is the brand’s second – and more affordable – foray into van electrification.
