Marchel Bulthuis, the Dutch importer of Energica, responds to the current situation | thepack.news | THE PACK - Electric motorcycle news

Despite what other media may have reported earlier, Energica Motor Company has not declared bankruptcy. Marchel Bulthuis, owner of Electric Motorcycles Nederland and importer of the Energica brand, denies the inaccurate speculation and stresses that the Italian motorcycle manufacturer’s board has instead chosen to begin a liquidation process in accordance with Italian law. This could potentially allow for a chance at a fresh start.

“It is incorrect to suggest that Energica is in the final phase of bankruptcy,” he says. Bulthuis refers to the announcement made by the Board of Directors of Energica Motor Company on October 14, stating that the manufacturer is undergoing a liquidation process. However, there is no talk of bankruptcy.

Marchel Bulthuis: “Unfortunately, this message has been misinterpreted by the media. As the importer of Energica motorcycles, we have complete faith in the brand. While the recent news from this top Italian motorcycle manufacturer was unexpected, sensationalized reporting in the media does not aid in finding a resolution. It is crucial to remain composed and avoid premature assumptions in light of this situation.”

Bulthuis assures us that nothing is final yet, and there are still many opportunities available. As the importer of Energica, Electric Motorcycles Nederland, along with their dealers, will continue to provide the best possible service to current owners of Energica motorcycles. Bulthuis remains optimistic about a bright future for Energica Motor Company, whether through a restart or finding a suitable successor.
