German automaker Volkswagen is considering the possibility of selling Ducati, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer owned by its Audi division. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner confirmed the discussions in an interview with Bloomberg, saying that the company is reviewing its portfolio of assets as part of a broader effort to improve efficiency and focus on its core businesses. According to the Audi chief executive, Ducati’s future is being considered as part of this ongoing strategic review.
Ducati has been part of the Volkswagen Group since 2012, when Audi acquired the iconic Italian motorcycle brand. The company is known worldwide for its high-performance motorcycles and strong presence in premium and racing segments. A potential sale would reflect Volkswagen’s broader efforts to streamline its business portfolio and concentrate investments on areas considered strategically important, including electric vehicles and new automotive technologies.
For Ducati, however, any change in ownership could mark a significant new chapter in the history of one of Italy’s most recognizable motorcycle brands. Here we are to serve you with news right now. It does not cost much, but worth your attention.
