Volkswagen: VW considers sale of motorcycle manufacturer Ducati

Volkswagen is considering selling motorcycle manufacturer Ducati as part of a restructuring of its product portfolio. The Italian brand is one of 600 business areas being reviewed out of a total of 2,000 within the Volkswagen Group, according to Audi CEO Gernot Döllner. Ducati, which is part of the Audi Group within Volkswagen, could be worth around 1.25 billion euros based on comparable company valuations.

Volkswagen's supervisory board recently approved a restructuring package that includes reducing the company's portfolio by around a third.
