Ford has announced the end of one of 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 with the model being sold in over 50 countries.
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 Valencia, Spain factory 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.
