CTOnews.com June 7, Aston Martin Chairman Lawrence Strol said that Aston Martin's first mass production electric car will be launched "as scheduled" in 2026, and the car company will provide detailed information on all new cars to be launched in the next five years, including plug-in hybrid models, at the Capital Day event on June 27.

Judging from Strol's statement, it seems that Aston Martin is not going to work on pure electric models, but will focus on plug-in hybrids.

Still, Mark Leckman, chief creative officer of Aston Martin, said the upcoming electric car would be a "new product" on a "new platform" rather than "putting batteries into an old platform". (CTOnews.com Note: most of the first new energy vehicles of traditional car companies are "oil-to-electricity" products).

Although Aston Martin did not release details about the platform itself, one thing is certain: it is not prepared to cooperate with Geely, although Geely recently increased its stake in Aston Martin. Strol said:

"you will see that we have a different goal, and we think of something completely different from the existing technology." our idea is that electric is not a powertrain, but a new car power. to this end, we have developed our own roadmap. "

As for the brand's upcoming plug-in hybrid model, Strol believes the technology will "last until the 2030s." It is said that Aston's first PHEV Valhalla will be available by the end of next year.
