FORD is on a big electrification push and the brand's Ford Performance division is part of it, with the big-selling Puma ST now available with an electrified, mild-hybrid powertrain mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox. Both are firsts for the Puma ST, which has been manual-only up to now. The engine is the most powerful of Ford's MHEV-equipped 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost units and features a 48V electrical system and a small, belt-driven starter/generator fed by a compact lithium-ion battery to deliver 168bhp and 248Nm of torque.
