Roberto Canè, Ducati eMobility Director: “Ever since we took the Ducati MotoE prototype to the track for the first time. Development work on the project has never stopped, not even for a moment.
The whole team’s hard work is paying off for the efforts made through continuous progress, which is giving us great satisfaction. Our prototype has already tackled the curves of some of the leading Italian circuits in just four months, providing positive responses. There is still a lot of work, but the direction is certainly the right one”.
