"We
see broad interest along the entire value chain," Meyer said,
adding that Deutsche Post was in contact with car parts makers,
electric vehicle manufacturers and operators.
The German postal services group has produced 10,000
ScreetScooters but is shying away from making large investments
in StreetScooter or taking on risks tied to large-scale vehicle
production.
Last year it hired Goldman Sachs to evaluate options for
StreetScooter as it seeks to expand the unit and tap an expected
rise in demand.
Deutsche Post CEO Frank Appel has said options include
cooperating with manufacturers, floating the firm on the stock
exchange or bringing in a financial investor.
Deutsche Post has also installed around 13,500 charging stations
in its depots and delivery bases throughout Germany.
Meyer said the number of e-vehicles used by the group would
continue to rise.
