It’s not necessarily a surprise to note that the Ford Fiesta was the bestselling car in Britain for all of 2020. After all, the nameplate had been Britain’s No. 1 seller for 11 years prior with some 1.3 million examples sold since 2009. But in a tumultuous year, Ford is nonetheless appreciative that the Fiesta keeps its top spot with Brits.
“I want to thank our customers for continuing to show their confidence and trust in the Ford brand in what was an unprecedented difficult year,” said Lisa Brankin, managing director, Ford of Britain and Ireland.

Sky, Europe’s entertainment and media powerhouse, is aiming to be net zero carbon by 2030. To help with that goal, Sky is turning to another titan: Ford Motor Company. With a fleet of 151 Ford Transit Custom PHEVs at its disposal, Sky aims to cut fleet emissions to nil within the next decade.
Sky made the choice to link up with Ford after the automaker’s successful trial in London. Over 12 months, a fleet of Transit Plug-in Hybrid test vehicles covered 150,000 miles 70 percent of that using battery power only. The Sky vehicles include a geofencing module that automatically senses when the van is entering a low-emission or zero-emission zone. This allows the vehicle to comply with regulations and cut fuel costs.
