DS Automobiles will be electrified by 2025, offering an electric variant across its entire model range. The company says that electrification sits at the heart of DS Automobiles, from being a pioneer in Formula E to offering an electrified option across its entire range since 2019. By 2025, DS Automobiles will exclusively offer plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) and fully electric vehicles (EV) to its customers.
DS says this commitment to electrification and sustainability has made it the only “premium, multi-energy manufacturer” to meet the current 95g/km CO2 average fleet emissions targets set by the European Commission.
DS Automobiles has competed in the all-electric Formula E series since the championship started in 2014, and it is the first-ever team to win the championship twice. DS Automobiles says it has used the expertise from its six seasons in Formula E to develop its growing range of electric vehicles – making them more exciting and thrilling to drive.
Mark Blundell, UK Marketing Director, DS Automobiles, said: “The ambitious transition to Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicles (ULEVs) by the Government must be met with equally ambitious work from the industry. DS Automobiles has been a pioneering force for electric and plug-in vehicles since the beginning and is in a strong position to meet the new guidelines five years ahead of time, through its continued investment in and development of pioneering electrified vehicles.”
