Ducati industrial and technical development

Overview

In August 2026, Ducati announced a significant industrial expansion through the ‘Ducati Raise the Bar’ programme. This €121 million development agreement, authorized by Italy’s Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy, involves funding from the state agency Invitalia. The investment aims to modernize production, fund industrial research, and expand product ranges with sustainable technologies in the Emilia-Romagna region.

Simultaneously, the company is pivoting its technical focus toward the 2027 MotoGP regulation changes. Despite competitive challenges in the 2026 season, Ducati is preparing for a transition to 850cc engines, new aerodynamic restrictions, and a shift to Pirelli tires. Engineer Gigi Dall'Igna described the upcoming regulatory changes as an opportunity to start from a ‘completely new sheet of paper’ through the development of new engine technology.
