IIRC since the previous generation the Transit shares a similar platform layout for both FWD and RWD versions, being quite straightforward to convert from one layout to the other. Wouldn't really surprise me if Ford eventually tried an electric-driven rear axle matching a more conventional FWD setup, just like Volvo, Toyota and Lexus have been implementing more often in recent years.
