The 102-year-old carmaker owned by Volkswagen announced its electrification target in 2020 as part of its “Beyond100” business transformation plan.<\/p>\n

Adrian Hallmark, chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors called the plan, which includes a shift to all all battery-powered electric vehicles, “an ambitious and credible roadmap to carbon neutrality.”<\/p>\n

“Our aim is to become the benchmark not just for luxury cars or sustainable credentials but the entire scope of our operations,” he said in a statement. “Securing production of our first BEV in Crewe is a milestone moment for Bentley, and the U.K., as we plan for a long-term sustainable future in Crewe.”<\/p>\n

Bentley aims to become end-to-end carbon neutral by 2030.<\/p>\n

The company will rely on plug-in hybrid vehicles to transition to its all-electric fleet. It currently offers a plug-in hybrid version of its Bentayga SUV and Flying Spur sedan.\n<\/p>\n
