This year at the Detroit Auto Show Ford presented Fiesta. The company planned to build only a sedan version for the North American customers, but the high demand from customers made them consider the production of a hatchback model as well.

Last week Ford announced about the plans to begin the production of both models of the small car at the Cuautitlan Assembly Plant in Mexico in the first months of 2010. Originally the plant was oriented on building F-class pick-up trucks for Mexico, but the company is going to build there small cars for the whole territory of North America.

Mexico has always been a low cost production place where several automakers build their vehicle. Besides the Cuautitlan Plan, Ford also has an engine plant in Chihuahua which will also have updates. If earlier it used to make four-cylinder engines, soon it will assemble diesel engines for small and medium trucks, which will be sold all over the world.

The car manufacturer also plans to build a transmission plant in Mexico. The new investment will cost around $3 billion and will give 4,500 jobs for Mexico residents.
