The Ford Transit Custom was unveiled at the 2012 Commercial Vehicle Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England.{{cite news|last=USA Today|title=With U.S. next, Ford shows off new Transit van for Europe|url=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2012/04/with-us-next-ford-debuts-new-transit-van-for-europe/1|access-date=April 18, 2012|date=April 18, 2012}} Currently, the Transit Custom is not sold in the United States and Canada, but it is sold in Mexico. It was not sold in China until 2016. An updated version with mild styling changes and a new engine family was introduced in 2017.{{cite press release |url=https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/news/2017/07/12/new-ford-transit-custom-enhances-appeal-with-sharper-styling--sm.html |title=New Ford Transit Custom -- enhanced style, productivity and technology for Europe's top-selling 1-tonne van |date=July 12, 2017 |publisher=Ford Media Center |access-date=November 21, 2022}}

One engine was available between 2012 and 2016, a 2.2-litre inline-four Duratorq turbodiesel, in three power output levels: {{convert|74|kW|PS hp||abbr=on}} and {{convert|310|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}} of torque, {{convert|92|kW|PS hp||abbr=on}} and {{convert|350|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}}, {{convert|113|kW|PS hp||abbr=on}} and {{convert|385|Nm|lbft|abbr=on}}.{{cite web |url=https://autocatalogarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Ford-Tourneo-Custom-2012-UK.pdf |title=Ford Tourneo Custom |date=September 2012 |publisher=Ford Motor Company, Ltd. |access-date=November 21, 2022}} It was succeeded in 2017 by a 2.0-litre EcoBlue turbodiesel that was compliant with Euro 6 emissions standards and offered comparable output levels.{{cite news |url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/1604-ford-introduces-new-ecoblue-2-0l-diesel-in-europe/ |title=Ford Introduces new EcoBlue 2.0L Diesel in Europe |author=Sanchez, Edward A. |date=April 26, 2016 |work=Motor Trend |access-date=November 21, 2022}} An ECOnetic package was available for the lowest-output model, which added an automatic engine start-stop system, low rolling resistance tires, and electronic controls to drive consumption and emissions down to {{cvt|5.7|L/100km}} and {{cvt|148|g/km}} of {{chem|C|O|2}}, respectively.{{cite news |url=https://www.carscoops.com/2017/07/ford-updates-transit-custom-with/ |title=Ford Updates Transit Custom With Sharper Looks, More Tech And New Frugal Variant |author=Karkafiris, Michael |date=July 12, 2017 |work=CarScoops |access-date=November 21, 2022}}
An optional mild hybrid system was introduced to the EcoBlue engines in 2019. A belt-driven starter/generator replaces the alternator, which is connected to a 48 V, 10 A-hr lithium-ion battery. Mild hybrid vehicles are equipped with a start-stop system that shuts down the engine when the vehicle is stopped or decelerating at less than {{cvt|12|km/h}}, returning energy to the storage battery and providing an improvement in fuel economy of approximately three to eight percent.{{cite web |url=https://media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/Europe/en/2019/09/TransitMediaDrive/transit_ecoblue_hybrid_EU.pdf |title=EcoBlue Hybrid Technology |date=September 2019 |publisher=Ford Media Center |access-date=November 21, 2022}}
Also in 2019, Ford introduced a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) version of the Tourneo, which uses Ford's 1-litre EcoBoost petrol engine and an electric traction motor with a 13,6 kWh battery. The PHEV is a series hybrid where the petrol engine acts as a range extender, as the front wheels of the car are driven by the electric engine. It can go {{cvt|50|km}} on electricity, but up to {{cvt|500|km}} using the petrol engine. Fuel consumption is reported to be {{cvt|3.3|L/100km|mpgUS}}. This version will be available in the second half of 2019.{{cite web|url=https://www.autoleht.ee/uudised/uudised.php?uid=58548|title=Ford Tourneo Custom changes into a plug-in hybrid.|author=Tarmo Riisenberg|publisher=Autoleht|date=April 4, 2019|access-date=April 4, 2019}}

The front wheels and strut towers have been repositioned further forward resulting in better cross-cab access, improved foot space and footrests for occupants in the front, as well as a shorter front overhang.
On November 22, 2022, the passenger version, the Tourneo Custom, was revealed. Like the panel van, the MPV will be available in electric, plug-in hybrid and diesel versions, as well as the Active crossover variant.{{Cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2022/11/ford-tourneo-custom-debuts-with-petrol-diesel-phev-and-full-electric-options/|title=Ford Tourneo Custom Debuts With Diesel, PHEV, And Full Electric Options|first=Thanos|last=Pappas|date=November 22, 2022|website=Carscoops}}
