Bugatti – which is famous for producing high-performance fuel-guzzling hypercars – has given the strongest indication yet it plans to go all-electric in the not-too-distant future.
In an official statement released earlier this week, the Volkswagen-owned French manufacturer’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann said: With regard to carbon emissions, there’s a simple order that applies to us all – first avoid them, then reduce them, and then offset any remaining emissions… For this reason, we at Bugatti work hard to avoid emissions and other environmental impacts wherever possible. With its initiatives and endeavours, Bugatti makes a commitment to the Volkswagen Group’s environmental mission statement ‘go to zero . The company aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its vehicle fleet by 30 percent over the entire life cycle by 2025 compared to 2015 and have made the entire Group carbon-neutral by 2050, the statement continued.
