Gaydon details its attempts to go from hero to zero emissions by 2030 - with a little help from Lucid.
Aston Martin will partner with the Lucid Group as it finally ‘hits the accelerator’ on its electrification strategy. The Californian-based startup – led by British engineer, Peter Rawlinson – has entered into a supply agreement with Gaydon that includes access to its ‘current and future powertrain and battery technology’.
Lawrence Stroll, Executive Chairman of Aston Martin, explained: “The supply agreement with Lucid is a game changer for the future EV-led growth of Aston Martin. Based on our strategy and requirements, we selected Lucid, gaining access to the industry’s highest performance and most innovative technologies for our future BEV products.
Lucid itself only produces the Air, a saloon not yet available in Europe, though it plans to launch an SUV called ‘Gravity’ in the US next year. Nevertheless, its first model received rave reviews and was notable for both its long range - up to 516 miles, according to the EPA - and impressively large power outputs. In tri-motor format, the Air comes with 1,200hp, and even the dual-motor version offers 1,050hp.
Of course, if that thought leaves you cold, Aston also confirmed that its current relationship with Mercedes - the one that provides rousing internal combustion engines alongside all manner of electronic systems - will continue for the foreseeable future. On the basis that Gaydon plans to offer an ‘electrified powertrain option’ to every model line by 2026, you can be sure that its hybrid technology will feature soon enough.
