Ducati's Electric Research Continues With The V21l Prototype And Solid-state BatteriesWith the FIM MotoE World Championship on hiatus at the end of the 2025 season, Ducati continues to develop its expertise in alternative technologies to internal combustion.

The Ducati MotoE project was created with the aim of building up internal know-how within the company in order to be ready if and when battery technology allowed for the creation of an electric road bike in line with the values of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.

During these years of MotoE World Championship, Ducati has collected a large amount of data thanks to the 18 riders on the grid who have battled it out in every race. In three years of development, the evolution of the cells has allowed for a weight saving of 8.2 kg in the battery pack of the V21L prototype – a significant reduction, but still inadequate to make the ‘electric MotoGP from Borgo Panigale’ as light as an internal combustion racing bike with adequate range.Ducati's Electric Research Continues With The V21l Prototype And Solid-state Batteries

For this reason, among its various research and development activities, Ducati is working with Volkswagen Group companies to continue studying and testing new technologies to create battery packs with higher energy density. On September 8th the first prototype of the V21L was presented at the IAA Mobility in Munich, equipped with QuantumScape solid-state batteries and developed in collaboration with Audi and PowerCo. This motorcycle represents a first step in development and confirms Ducati’s ongoing research into alternative technologies to internal combustion.
