This week, Deutsche Post announced that serial production of the first 2,000 vehicles would begin this year. The goal is to produce a total of 30,000. The company also says that it has already received queries by third parties and is willing to sell the vehicles as soon as it covers its own demand. The firm also specifically says it is addressing a market not yet served by Tesla: utility vehicles…Because vans will be used in a fleet for deliveries, range doesn’t need to be as great, apparently 80km. The StreetScooter is to be considerably lighter and allow for the driver to get in and out more easily. StreetScooter manufactures Ebikes as well as 4 wheelers.
