Ford will manufacture an electric variant of the Puma in Craiova, Romania in 2024 to rival the Peugeot e-2008 and upcoming Mini Aceman.
To be produced alongside the ICE Puma, the Puma EV will share its platform and powertrain with the freshly revealed Ford E-Transit Courier van.
Ford said it had engineered the electric powertrain together for Puma and Courier at the same time, suggesting the two will share broadly similar specifications.
Ford said it's working on only one battery for the smallest electric Transit, which is expected to be around 55kWh in capacity and can add 54 miles of range in 10 minutes.
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.”
The Puma is expected to be around the £35,000 mark while the ICE Puma will be available from around £25,000.
The Puma was Ford’s best-selling car for the past two years, dethroning the soon-to-retire Fiesta, which suffered a drop in sales when heavily impacted by semiconductor shortages and factory closures.
Puma's electrification is the latest step in Ford’s EV strategy, which will involve an investment of $22 billion through 2025.
