New European Camper Van Revealed by Ford

author: FutureCar Staff    

Ford of Europe is teasing a new camper van that is set to be unveiled on August 24. The company promises that this model will make outdoor trips an experience of a lifetime and will embrace the "VanLife" trend. While the teaser videos only provide a few glimpses of the exterior, we can see that the van will have a sliding side window and a pop-up roof equipped with a solar panel. When the roof is raised, there will be enough room to stand inside the van.

Although there isn't much else revealed in the videos, we can infer that the van will have classy counters, a refrigerated drawer, zippered window coverings, and a rear touchscreen display for adjusting the color changing lighting system. There also appears to be a sink and an external shower head or washer. Ford has not disclosed many details about the camper van, but it could potentially be a redesigned version of the Transit Custom Nugget. The timing aligns with the introduction of the redesigned van last September, and the rear quarter glass suggests that the camper is based on the Transit Custom. The camper van variant will likely debut at the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon later this week.

Full details about the camper van's features and specifications are yet to be revealed. However, the Transit Custom is currently available with various powertrain options, including EcoBlue diesels with outputs ranging from 108 hp to 168 hp. There are also plug-in hybrid and electric variants available. Ford enthusiasts and those interested in the #VanLife movement are eagerly awaiting the exciting reveal from Ford on August 24.
