What is the Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0?

The Ford Pro™ Vehicle Integration System 2.0 offers a comprehensive solution, combining cutting edge hardware and software to help upfitters work more efficiently and unleash new possibilities for clients. This system empowers upfitters by enabling swift integration of aftermarket equipment onto the vehicle.

We Simplified Upfitting

Half of all Transits sold in Europe feature some kind of conversion, and many of these modifications require integration with vehicle’s electrical system – including the addition of controls and displays – which can be challenging and time-consuming for converters.

The new system features an interface module that allows seamless connection to the vehicle’s electrical system, and also enables conversions to be controlled via the SYNC 4 touchscreen rather than bolt-on switchgear. This allows conversions to be delivered more quickly and efficiently, as well as potentially improving reliability and safety as converters will not have to modify the cab area or splice into factory wiring to fit controls.

Customers can set logic for operation of conversions, such as preventing a wheelchair ramp from being lowered unless the vehicle is stopped and in park or neutral with the handbrake on. In addition to showing conversion performance on the SYNC screen, in the future, digital upfits will also be able to link to Ford Pro software packages for remote monitoring by fleet managers – for example, to track temperature in refrigerated vehicles carrying pharmaceuticals or food and drink where an uninterrupted cold chain is essential.

For additional help to optimise their digital conversions, businesses and converters can obtain further technical support from the specialists in the Digital Solutions team within Ford Pro Special Vehicles by contacting FPSVHelp@ford.com
