The two parties will leverage their respective strengths to produce the next generation of high-performance electric trucks to the highest industrial standards. This marks SuperPanther’s entry into the European market.
Manfred Eibeck, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Steyr Automotive, explained at the signing ceremony:
"Steyr Automotive highly values its strategic partnership with SuperPanther. We will combine Steyr's experience in vehicle manufacturing and its modern production capabilities with SuperPanther's cutting-edge expertise in the development of electric drive systems.
Particularly noteworthy is the professionalism of all parties involved. Our joint determination to focus on problem solving and rapid project completion was and still is crucial.
This partnership is one of several positive signs in the business areas of Steyr Automotive. Our plastic parts painting business, for example, is in the process of hiring around 80 new employees. Incoming orders for our MUT superstructures for waste collection and street sweeping are also developing positively.
