Deutsche Post AG (DPW.XE) has received German approval for large
series production of its electric-van entry-model, which will make
it easier to sell abroad, the postal service said Friday.
"Approval for large series production means that when filling
fleet orders, large numbers of vehicles can be put on the road
without problems, including abroad," Achim Kampker, Chief Executive
of Street Scooter GmbH, Deutsche Post's electric-utility-vehicle
subsidiary, said.
A second manufacturing site was opened in Germany in May,
increasing annual production capacity to up to 20,000 electric
vans, according to the company.
Street Scooter has already received large series production
approval for its Work XL model, which is being built in cooperation
with Ford Motor Co (F) in Cologne.
