Ferrari Production In 2030 Will Be Dominated By Electric And Hybrid Cars

JAKARTA - Italian luxury sports car maker Ferrari has outlined an electrification strategy that calls for 40 percent of full-electric vehicles and 40 percent of hybrid models by 2030.

CEO Benedetto Vigna, quoted by the Associated Press on Sunday, June 19, confirmed that the first electric car will be presented in 2025, with the first deliveries the following year.

Now, only four Ferrari models, or 20 percent of the range, are hybrids. Its first hybrid model was the limited edition La Ferrari launched in 2013, utilizing Formula 1 technology.

Vigna, a former technology entrepreneur who joined Ferrari as CEO nine months ago, said the electrification strategy was "very relevant".

"Not only required by emission regulations, but most importantly, we believe we can use electric engines to improve the performance of our cars, as we have done with our hybrid Ferrari," said Vigna at the analyst presentation.

As Ferrari expands its model range, the car company based in the northern Italian city of Maranello said it would unveil its long-awaited Purosangue utility vehicle in September.

Bearing the Italian name for "pure race", the Purosangue will represent no more than 20 percent of the vehicles produced during its cycle.

In all, Ferrari plans to launch 15 new models from 2023 to 2026, including a new high-performance supercar.
