Ducati Electric Race
POSTED: 13/05/2023
Saturday 13 May 2023 will be remembered as an historical date in the Ducati books. It was held the first race in our history by a Ducati 100% electric.
Claudio Domenicali, Ducati's CEO: "Compliments to Jordi Torres that won this race, and to all the Ducati and Ducati Corse engineers that pushed to the limit the technology. The best lap time is more than 3 seconds faster than the best ever lap time for an electric bike in Le Mans circuit.
Of course, to be really carbon neutral electrical vehicles would need to be recharged with 100% renewable energy.
We are developing as well ICE engines based on non-fossil fuels, both biofuels and efuels. The MotoGP championship will run from next year on 40% of non-fossil fuel and 100% from 2027. Therefore MotoGP will be zero carbon emissions from 2027 (when also the production of the fuel is counted as should logically be). And potentially also Hydrogen has a lot to say.

Part of Completely Motoring Ltd (FCA Number 676043),
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
