In the first step of the evolution of the luggage compartment a foam prototype was used. When it was found that the original design was OK they proceeded to create a second likeness. The difference was that the second one concerned the whole car and was made of plastic. In this way they were able to test the loading and unloading of large-volume objects and/or irregular shapes.
Under the floor, we usually find a place where the spare tire or the tyre repair kit is placed, depending on what is available in each car. In this case Ford created a 80 litre apartment which was invested with hard plastic. Its purpose is to put objects that could stain the carpet of the floor.
In fact, they took their idea one step further and created an opening so that the user could shed water and easily clean this space. Of course the capacity of 80 litres varies according to the options of the proposed acquirer. If the placement of a spare tyre or tire repair Kit is selected, the space available will be reduced.
The same will happen if a hybrid motor is selected, since the batteries are installed to power the electric motor. In any case, beyond the inventive solutions, the new Puma trunk is perfectly satisfying, at least in terms of the technical characteristics, since the price announced by Ford for its capacity reaches the impressive number of 456 Liter.
