"This is not the moment for being shy," said Timur Sardarov, CEO, MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. "We need to embrace change and give everything we have to build a new future for our industry and our communities, maintaining, if not increasing, the current levels of employment. If it is true that we will have to deal with a whole new set of parameters in all aspects of our societies, we must not be afraid to believe in our potential."
"We are ready to take on the challenge. We are still making the best and most beautiful bikes in the world, and we will continue to do so, maybe in a different way, but with confidence and determination. We are already making necessary investments to reach out to new audiences and enter new markets as originally set out in our industrial plan. Also, the super premium positioning of our traditional production may be less likely to suffer than other, less flexible segments. Also, motorcycles are by definition the quintessence of individual mobility, a symbol of freedom and a natural, agile alternative to mass transportation. A further reason for confidence in these difficult times."
