Ford Weighs Building Electric Vans in Germany
American automotive giant Ford Motor Co. (F) - Get Report is contemplating whether to build the electric Streetscooter minivans in Germany, developed by the German logistics firm Deutsche Post DHL Group, Reuters reports.
Deutsche Post, the world's leading mail and logistics services group, stated last month it was looking to expand its alliance with Ford in Germany, which is the primary market for the Streetscooter minivans. The 32,000 euros ($37,628.80) vans are meant to reduce toxic diesel fumes.
"We are looking at this in detail and pondering whether the number of units can be raised," Gunnar Herrmann, chairman of Ford of Germany, said. "The demand is there, one now needs to look at how this business model can be moved into a different dimension."
