Bentley Targets Full Electric Lineup by 2030

Bentley’s first-ever Battery-Powered Electric Vehicle (BEV) will be developed and built in the UK with the company committing to investing £2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) in sustainability over the next ten years, the British automaker announce.

Bentley’s first BEV is scheduled to roll off the production line in 2025 and will be a critical step in the company’s Beyond100 strategy – the ground-breaking plan launched in 2020 that will ensure Bentley is exclusively electric and end-to-end carbon neutral by 2030, the company said. The investment program will also result in a complete transformation of Bentley’s entire product portfolio.

“Beyond100 is the boldest plan in Bentley’s illustrious history, and in the luxury segment. It’s an ambitious and credible roadmap to carbon neutrality of our total business system, including the shift to 100 per cent BEV in just eight years,” said Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors.

“Our aim is to become the benchmark not just for luxury cars or sustainable credentials but the entire scope of our operations. Securing production of our first BEV in Crewe is a milestone moment for Bentley, and the UK, as we plan for a long-term sustainable future in Crewe.”
