[moto] Dorna Sport boss talks about the future of MotoGP in the era of electric motorbikes

[luminox™-]

Sooner or later vehicle electrification will continue to spread. Not only for daily vehicles, but also in the field of sports, namely motorcycle racing. In the future, it is believed that MotoGP class races will also be affected by the trend of pure electric technology, aka battery electric vehicle (BEV). Moreover, at this time MotoGP actually already has an electric motorcycle championship called MotoE.

 

Dorna Sport boss, Carmelo Ezpeleta said, the era in which mobility shifts to electric motors is inevitable. However, in the short and medium term MotoGP will continue to use gasoline engines. Currently it will continue to focus on internal combustion engines, with the use of synthetic fuels that are less polluting. In twenty years I still envision a petrol-powered MotoGP. We have an agreement to get synthetic fuel, that is the way forward," he quoted Tuttomotoriweb.it, Wednesday (23/2/2022).

 

As mentioned, Dorna already has a MotoE electric motorcycle championship. So that it currently has a "hybrid" championship between gasoline and electric motors. "We have our electric part. It will be a hybrid championship," said Ezpeleta.
