E-Transporter – Hope for Streetscooter – Economy

Deutsche Post seems to be able to find someone else who could take over the production rights to its Streetscooter electric van. At least the company Odin Automotive, based in Luxembourg, has announced plans to completely take over Streetscooter Engineering GmbH from Aachen. This is announced by the Federal Cartel Office. At first, the post did not want to comment. A report from world According to the former BMW and Deutsche Bank manager Stefan Krause is the main shareholder behind Odin.

The electric car company Streetscooter was founded in 2010 in the vicinity of the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen. After the Swiss Post became aware of the start-up, Streetscooter switched saddles and developed a battery-operated mail and parcel transporter. In 2014, Swiss Post bought the start-up company. It now has more than 15,000 street scooters in use as an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel vans. However, vehicle production incurred high losses; the search for a partner or buyer was unsuccessful for a long time. Last year, the Post announced that production should be phased out in the future.
