Ford said it will stop manufacturing its popular Fiesta as it begins “accelerating our efforts” to go electric ahead of a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030
Car manufacturer Ford is set to discontinue the Fiesta – once named the most popular car in Britain for 12 years running.
Ford said it is “accelerating our efforts” to go electric ahead of a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.
The soaring costs of car parts and a surge in popularity for SUVs are also thought to be contributing factors behind the decision.
Ford will end production of the Fiesta in Cologne, Germany, by mid-2023.
