Following our earlier report about Ford possibly mass producing Deutsche Post DHL’s internally developed StreetScooter electric van, the company has revealed that it will be doubling its own production capacity and building a new factory in Dueren near Cologne.
This new facility will reportedly employ 250 people, and will possess an annual production capacity of 10,000 units. Further expansion beyond that figure will be possible with the introduction of a second and/or third shift.
These units will be sold primarily to third parties. Production at the new facility is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2018, a company spokesperson has revealed.
