End of the road for Ford Fiesta as car to be discontinued

Ford looks set to end production of its iconic Fiesta model with an announcement due within days. The popular 'super-mini' first marketed in 1976 will end production as early as next year, reports the BBC.

Ford is reported to be talking to manufacturers, staff and car dealers this week ahead of the formal announcement. The Sun says the move comes as Ford switches to all electric vehicles and it has no plans for an electric version of the Fiesta.

A spokesman for Ford said that it was "accelerating our efforts to go all in on electrification" but said the company does not comment on speculation.
