Ducati delivered a total of 33,265 motorcycles registering a loss of 3.6 per cent compared to the same period in 2021. The bike manufacturer said this result was achieved due to great flexibility along with a constant dialogue with partners and the trade union, despite the difficulties related to the supply crisis. Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali said 2021 was a record year for the company whereas 2022 is proving to be a more challenging year despite strong demand. “However, we managed to obtain satisfactory results considering the context in which we are operating, especially in terms of revenue, which is the best ever recorded in the first six months of the year," said Domenicali.
