Ducati will be the sole manufacturer of MotoE bikes from 2023

KUALA LUMPUR: The legendary Italian automaker Ducati begins its electric era by entering into a new partnership with Dorna Sports. It will be the sole official supplier of motorcycles for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup starting from 2023. 

The deal signed by Ducati Motor Holding CEO Claudio Domenicali and Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta will last until 2026 covering four editions of the World Cup. It also implies the departure of Energica Motor Company as the manufacturer for the MotoE with 2022 as the final season.

“Ducati is always projected to the future and every time it enters a new world it does so to create the best performing product possible. We are working to make high-performance electric motorcycles characterized by their lightness available to all FIM Enel MotoE World Cup participants" said Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding

“We are very proud to announce Ducati as the new, single manufacturer for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup. With their incredible racing history, it is an honour to welcome this commitment from one of the best-known manufacturers in the paddock and to take on this new challenge together”, declared Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO Dorna Sports.

The new partnership will be the automaker’s first step in the world of electric bikes; its most important challenges will be the size, weight, batteries autonomy, and the availability of charging networks. 

But the company has a custom of using racing competitions as a laboratory for technologies and solutions, and it seems the FIM Enel MotoE Championship will be no exception. It will allow Borgo Panigale bike maker to develop the best technologies and test methodologies applied to light, sporty, and powerful electric bikes.

Not to forget, Ducati is a part of the Volkswagen AG, which has made electric mobility an essential element of its 2030 "New Auto" strategy. 

Well, Ducati is yet to announce any electric bike but it confirms the various events and collective moments to happen during 2022 will reveal the development of the project step by step. So, stay tuned!
