Ford to end production of the Fiesta in transition to electric

Ford has announced the end of one of what’s widely reported to be the most popular cars ever sold in the UK – the Fiesta.

By the end of June next year, no more Fiestas are to be produced in the manufacturer’s factory in Cologne, Germany.
More than 22 million have been produced globally since 1976 and the model has been sold in over 50 countries.

Since it was first sold in 1976 the car won numerous awards including the 1978 Fiesta British Design Council efficiency award and in 2002 Germany’s prestigious Golden Steering Wheel award.

The withdrawal of the popular vehicle comes as Ford makes changes to its portfolio to make space for more electric cars.
Production of the S-MAX and Galaxy models will also end in Ford’s factory in Valencia, Spain, by next April.

Ford is to only produce electric cars by 2030 and all vehicles it makes are to be electric by 2035.

Three new electric car models and four commercial vehicles are to be launched in Europe by 2024, Ford said.

The plans are part of the maker’s aim to sell more than 600,000 electric vehicles in the region by 2026.
