Production debut of the De Tomaso P72 underscores brand strength and commercial readiness as ESGL business combination advances
SINGAPORE, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ESGL Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: ESGL), a leader in sustainable circular solutions, announces a major milestone in its strategic merger with De Tomaso Automobili: the official unveiling of the production specification P72. This event reinforces the strong operational and brand foundation of the combined company, as the proposed business combination approaches its targeted closing in June 2025.

This unveiling marks the readiness of De Tomaso to commence customer deliveries in late 2025 and reaffirms the shared vision between the two companies. The production vehicle revealed today is an internal unit, separate from the 72 custodian allocations, and showcases the final engineering, design, and build quality De Tomaso will deliver at scale.
“The launch of the production P72 signals to investors that De Tomaso is ready to scale. This is more than a car—it is a commercial catalyst,” said Lawrence Law, Executive Director of ESGL Holdings. “As we near completion of our merger, this milestone underlines the strategic value we can create together.”
The proposed business combination between ESGL and De Tomaso is expected to close in June 2025, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.
