Bentley’s shift to selling only completely electric vehicles by 2030 “won’t be a 0/1 binary switch,” according to Chairman as well as CEO, Adrian Hallmark.
“The method is bold, however it’s over a decade,” he said, outlining that last year’s statement as well as the brand’s beyond 100 future method are to show that Bentley is prepared for modification after 100 years.

“It’s not since we’re escaping from what we’ve performed in the past, however we can see that there are immovable forces that we want to embrace. We want to lead rather than lagging behind.

“Between now as well as whenever we get to full electric, you can be absolutely sure that we’ll be using a multitude of derivatives as well as special editions with a lot more traditional powertrains up until we get to hybrids, then a lot more differentiated hybrids – plug-in – before we get to full electric.”
Hallmark detailed that Bentley has at least a decade to truly make the very best of this period in Bentley’s history as well as get prepared for the switch to electrification, adding “that it will not be an overnight switch.”
This fits with Bentley’s plan to introduce nine new products in 2021, including two plug-in hybrids. We’ve already seen the expose of the brand’s Bentayga plug-in hybrid SUV, while the firm just recently exposed its a lot of dynamic as well as performance-focused road vehicle yet, the Continental GT Speed.
