StreetScooter GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Post DHL Group and a producer of electric delivery vehicles, has opened its second manufacturing facility.

With immediate effect, up to 10,000 electric vans per year will run off the production line at the automotive supplier's new 78,000 square metre factory in Dueren, corresponding to a daily production rate of 46 vehicles (in single shift operation). Together with its main factory in Aachen, StreetScooter now has production capacities of up to 20,000 electric vehicles per year.

In the Dueren factory, the Pure (chassis only), Pickup (flatbed vehicle) and Box (box truck with 4 or 8 cube metre loading volume) variants of the StreetScooter Work and Work L models will be produced. The new site will employ some 250 people in the area.

Taking part in the official opening of the Duren facility was Armin Laschet, Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia. "The StreetScooter is already an unprecedented success story. The fact that Deutsche Post deploys more than 6,000 StreetScooters throughout Germany clearly demonstrates that electro-mobility is, in several areas, already a perfectly viable, everyday transport solution. It is success stories such as these that can make North Rhine-Westphalia a key driver of growth in electro-mobility," said Laschet.

"E-mobility is on the move," says Juergen Gerdes, Board Member for Corporate Incubations at Deutsche Post DHL Group and responsible StreetScooter. "We can see it in growing public interest and increasing third-party customer demand for our StreetScooters. The number of StreetScooters used in the business world, in municipalities and at Deutsche Post is also on the rise in Germany and abroad."

Achim Kampker, CEO of StreetScooter GmbH, adds: "Our two manufacturing facilities in North Rhine-Westphalia enable us to respond even more quickly to the high demand for our electric vehicles both from within DPDHL and by third party customers. But volume is only one side of the coin. What sets StreetScooter apart in particular is the ability to produce affordable, customised electric vehicles for our customers from a variety of industries and countries."

The WORK and WORK L StreetScooter models have been available to external customers since summer 2017.
