The C1 platform (for " Compact-class ") is Ford 's global Compact Car Automobile Platform . It replaces (and is loosely based on) Ford's C170 Platform and Mazda's BJ Platform . The C1 platform debuted with the European Ford Focus C-Max MPV in early 2004 . It will be extended as the EUCD for future Midsize Car s. The C platform was designed in Cologne, Germany as the "C Technologies Program". 30 engineers each from Mazda , Ford, and Volvo worked to combine the small-car engineering from all three automakers. The platform is designed for either Front- or All Wheel Drive . It is very adaptable, though, and will be stretched as the EUCD for use in future Volvo vehicles. It was even modified for Rear Wheel Drive to create the Ford D2C Platform for the next Ford Mustang . Volvo's plans call for all of their cars to be C1, EUCD, or D3 -based in the coming years. Among all of the cars, the Floorpan is different, but the front- and rear- Subframe s, Suspension , Steering , Braking , Safety , and Electrical components are shared. Vehicles currently using this platform include the following:
