Aston Martin has confirmed that all of its road cars will be electrified by 2025 and the only vehicles it builds with ordinary combustion engines beyond 2030 will be limited to track use.
Writing in the British automaker’s annual report, chief executive Tobias Moers said that Aston Martin is taking the necessary steps to reduce carbon emission and energy usage and will do so with an electrified lineup.
Aston’s goal is for all of its vehicles to have a hybrid or all-electric powertrain by 2025 and by 2030, for 50 per cent of its sales to be all-electric vehicles, 45 per cent performance-oriented hybrids, and the remaining 5 per cent to be combustion-powered vehicles limited to track use.
“We understand that having hybrid and electric options for our vehicles is imperative to the company’s future in this industry and our partnership with Mercedes-Benz AG is fundamental to our hybrid and EV plan,” Moers wrote.

Aston Martin’s annual report defines the carmaker’s line-up as consisting of three key pillars; front-engine, SUV, and mid-engine vehicles. In 2023, the company will refresh its range of front-engine vehicles with new technology sourced from Mercedes-Benz with an aim of selling 3,500 – 4,000 units annually. Meanwhile, the SUV range will be bolstered with the launch of a new DBX variant in the third quarter of this year.
As for the mid-engine range, it will initially consist of the Valkyrie hypercar with deliveries expected to commence in the second half of 2021. The subsequent Valhalla and Vanquish “will position Aston Martin firmly in this segment and will complete our range of highly engineered and beautiful sports cars.”
