| This van seen at Acton Works on 12th June 2021 turned out to be more interesting than at first sight. Numbered 9136F, this Ford Transit Custom was first licensed on 11th May 2021, though curiously it was issued with a new V5C (logbook) on 18th June, almost a week after this photo was taken. More significantly, this is the first known example of the hybrid Transit Custom for the central fleet. These vehicles have a small (one litre) petrol engine in series with an electric motor. Charging is achieved through a socket behind a flap below the nearside headlamp, and the open flap is indeed visible close to the traffic cone, with a cable seeming to run into the adjoining building. |
