On Tuesday,Fordannounced that it had signed a deal to deliver20 Transit Connect Electrics to the Norwegian Post. Two days after that,Azure Dynamics, the automotive firm that supplies theConnect's ForceDrive electric powertrain, revealed that Lotus Lightweight Structures, a division ofLotus Cars, will tackle the task of electrifying Transits for the European market.

Here's how it'll work: Lotus will receive empty Transit shells, called gliders, from Ford's manufacturing facility in Turkey. Lotus will take the empty gliders and marry them to the ForceDrive powertrains at its Worcester facility in the UK. From there, the electrified Transits will ship out to paying customers throughout Europe. The electrification of these Europe-bound Transit Connects will kick off this June.
