Ferrari has opened a new E-Building in Maranello specifically for the production of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and internal combustion engine (ICE) models. The facility has been under construction for the past two years, and will host the in-house assembly of high-voltage batteries, electric motors, and axles, supporting the production of future models.

The E-Building expands over an impressive 42,500 square meters and consists of four floors. It has integrated substantial expansions including the acquisition of 39 buildings and reclamation of formerly unattractive industrial land. This expansion also prompted improvements to the surrounding road network and added 1,400 parking spaces.

Mario Cucinella Architects, based in Bologna, designed the facility with sustainability at its core. Features include rainwater recycling systems, advanced insulation techniques for optimal thermal properties, an air conditioning system powered by renewable energy sources, and 3,000 photovoltaic panels producing an output of about 1.3 MegaWatts.

Inside the state-of-the-art production facility, Ferrari utilizes anthropomorphic robots and reconfigurable workstations equipped with multi-adjustable arm hooks to enhance manufacturing efficiency and worker comfort. The setup includes recreational areas for employees and an educational center to foster ongoing learning and skill development. Notably, 30% of the facility’s total space is reserved for future expansions.

Ferrari says that the E-Building is already “completely operational”, and currently goes through the “ramp-up phase”. The company didn’t give away details about the official start of production, or the particular models that will be manufactured at the new factory.

The highly anticipated first EV from Ferrari is set to debut in late 2025 with a starting price exceeding €500,000 ($537,000) before options.
