End of the road for Britain's most popular car: The Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta was created originally as a more fuel-efficient, small car in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. More than 20 million of the model have since been built for customers worldwide, after it shot to the top of best-seller lists and remained there for decades. However, all new cars and vans sold in the UK must be fully electric by 2035 and Ford have not made plans for an electric version of the Fiesta despite its popularity. A spokesman for Ford said that it was "accelerating our efforts to go all in on electrification", and so the company is reviewing the portfolio of cars it has on offer.
