Bentley claims that it will switch its entire model range to offer exclusively plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicles by 2026, and full electric vehicles only by 2030.

Renowned for its production of 12-cylinder petrol engines, the new programme will see Bentley evolve toward having no internal combustion engines within a decade. With the announcement of its new sustainability plans, Bentley has confirmed that every model line will be offered with the option of a hybrid variant by 2023, with the company’s first pure electric model to be launched in 2025.

Adam Hallmark, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, said: “Since 1919, Bentley has defined grand luxury touring. Being at the forefront of progress is part of our DNA - the original Bentley boys were pioneers and leaders. Now, as we look Beyond 100, we will continue to lead by reinventing the company and becoming the world’s benchmark luxury car business.”
