Volkswagen Confirms Ducati Brand Not For Sale

Ducati Brand Not For Sale: A recent report in the automotive industry claims that Volkswagen has cancelled its plan of selling Ducati to any other brand for covering its loss from diesel engine emission scandal.

Italian premium bike brand will remain in the same family as employees raised serious objections regarding its sale after such good performance in last financial year. Labor union of Ducati protested against the plans as this would lead to job loss for many full time, highly dedicated employees of the brand.

After the news broke like wild fire, many renowned brands like Harley-Davidson and Eicher Motors (Royal Enfield) tried making a deal for Ducati. There were even reports of Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj Auto considering Ducati as an important deal for 2017.

Ducati recently launched the all new SuperSport series in India from INR 12.08 lakh. It comes powered by a 937cc, twin cylinder engine producing 110 HP and 93 Nm of torque. They even retail exclusive products like xDiavel in India. It is priced from INR 16.60 lakh and brings 128.9 Nm of massive torque at just 5000 rpm.
