The Ford Puma will gain an electric variant in 2024 to rival the Peugeot e-2008 and upcoming Mini Aceman, and new details have emerged of its technical make-up. Due to enter production early next year alongside the ICE Puma in Craiova, Romania, the Puma EV will share its platform and powertrain with the freshly revealed Ford E-Transit Courier van.
There are other motors available to Ford, though, including the 181bhp and 265bhp units used in the biggest E-Transit, so a multi-powertrain Puma offering could be possible. Speaking to Autocar recently, Ford of Europe boss Martin Sander was keen to position the Puma as the “utility version” of the Fiesta, saying that it will remain on sale “for many years” following the introduction of the EV version, suggesting a 2029 end-of-sale date.
