Volkswagen Group is considering selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati

Volkswagen is considering selling Ducati, the Italian high-performance motorcycle manufacturer, as part of a comprehensive review of its vast portfolio. Audi's CEO, Gernot Döllner, confirmed that the Italian brand is among the 600 companies being analyzed, although nothing has been decided yet. Ducati, valued at around 1.25 billion euros, was acquired by Audi in 2012 and has been strengthening its position in MotoGP, with six consecutive constructors' championships since 2020. It sells approximately 50,000 units annually and generated, in 2025 alone, revenues of 925 million euros and an operating profit of 52 million euros. This potential sale is part of Volkswagen's broader effort to reduce its business portfolio and make Europe's largest car manufacturer more competitive, following the recent approval of a restructuring plan that includes cuts of about one-third of the portfolio.
