Shifting from stylish sport cars to electric vehicles

Last year, the manufacturer announced a plan to delve into the fast-rising electric car market under the FCA’s grander strategy, which is laid out its most recent five-year plan. Early this year, the manufacturer announced that all new Maserati models would be 100% developed, engineered, and built in Italy. The vehicles were expected to adopt hybrid and battery electric propulsion systems. Following the announcement, the company began testing new full-electric powerplants to be installed on future Maserati models. In general, Maserati had made it clear its intentions to shift from stylish sports cars to battery-powered and autonomous vehicles.
