Global B
Ford Global B-car platformGlobal B is Ford's combustion platform for the Fiesta and the Puma. The Puma Gen-E is the electric Puma on that floor, built in Craiova: a converted petrol SUV, not a skateboard, but with the storage under the boot floor and an extra compartment up front retained. The pack is compact, but charges quickly. Ford's larger electric cars use other platforms: Explorer and Capri on MEB, the Mustang Mach-E on GE1.
Global B is the EV platform of Ford, in production since 2025, with a 400V architecture. The Global B platform carries 1 model from 1 brand. The WLTP range of the current variants on Global B is 419 km.
Pick the car first, then the version — chemistry, battery and drive differ per version.
