Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali has revealed that a prototype of the factory's 2023 MotoE racer has already made its t🦩rack debut.

reports tha🎶t, during a meeting with Italian media, Domenicali revealed that Ducati's MotoGP test rider Michele Pirro was riding the bike at Misa🌠no.

An off♉icial unveiling of the electric machine could be made in the coming days.

The surprise news that Ducati would take over 🦋from Energica as the single MotoE supplier was made in late October, with Domenicali explaining:

"At Ducati, our core values are style, sophistication an🐼d performance so we decided to enter electrical mobility from the top and there is no better way♒ than competition to test and learn.

"We want our engineers to be🦩come as good as they are at developing internal combustion engines and I think everyone can say our engine in MotoGP is one of the fastest, if not the fastest.

"For motorcycles the main problem [with electric] is the weight, and so we have a program in order to make the motorcycle as light as possible. I think that was one of the winning [parts] of oꦅur bid for Dorna."

Domenicali then told the Italian media that, "A sepa🙈rate racing depar🔜tment was created. A special working group. And in a few months a prototype was created.

"It is an envied group becaus🌠e it practically has carte blanche [to do what it wants with the design]."

Mot🐼oGP manufacturers have agreed to phase out fossil fuel in the premier class from 2024-2027 by&♒nbsp;switching to sustainable fuel (in conventional engines).

By also entering MotoE, Ducati is confident it can future proof its company by gaining expert knowledge of both electric and eFuel/biof🅺uel technology.

The MotoE World Cup was formed in 2019, with Energica signing up to supply machinery for the ope🔯ning four s𒊎easons.
