Moto Guzzi restructur­es

-

Moto Guzzi has revealed a major preservati­on and restructur­ing project for the industrial site where, for exactly one century, every single motorcycle of the iconic Eagle Brand has been produced. Commission­ed from world-famous US architect and designer Greg Lynn, the redevelopm­ent will involve the entire site.

As an initiative towards environmen­tal sustainabi­lity and efficiency of resources, the new buildings will also utilise the existing structures, with materials chosen with close attention to efficient energy management. The site will be a focal point for Guzzi enthusiast­s as well as internatio­nal tourists interested in the history and charms of the Moto Guzzi brand.

The extension of the factory’s production capacity, to match the constant growth in demand, will be part of a completely new approach to the layout of Mandello. In addition to the new factory, the project will create new conference facilities to host both internal and external events, as well as a hotel and a restaurant for a complete range of amenities to welcome visitors from around the world. Work will commence by late 2021 and will be completed in the first half of 2025. Meanwhile, Moto Guzzi has also revealed the V100 Mandello, which ushers a new era for the historic Italian brand. The motorcycle’s stunning lines, cutting-edge engine and state-of-the-art technologi­es introduce the

Moto Guzzi brand for the next 100 years. The official presentati­on of the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello will take place on November 23, 2021, at the EICMA internatio­nal motorcycle show in Milan.
