In 2021 Lamborghini also presented its future electrification strategy. ‘Direzione Cor Tauri’ (Toward Cor Tauri) is the name of the path that will lead the company through the decarbonisation of its future models and the Sant’Aqata Boloqnese site, in accordance with the holistic approach of its environmental sustainability strategy. The Italian carmaker says throughout the product electrification process, there will be a constant focus on identifying technologies and solutions that can guarantee top performance and driving dynamics. More than 1.5 billion euros (Rs 12,400 crore) will be spent over the course of four years, in an epoch-defining investment that will see Lamborghini launch its first hybrid production model in 2O23 and electrify its entire range by the end-2O24, with the aim of cutting CO emissions by 50 percent from 2025 onwards. Subsequently, a fourth fully electric model is due to be added to the range in the second half of the decade.
