These vehicles will be driven approx. 1000 kilometers a day within Germany, but also in continental Europe.
"We are particularly proud that we are able to deliver our products to Germany, which, however, is a “homeland” of high-quality cars. The project has provided us with a demanding but positive challenge, because the quality and functional requirements are very high. The project required us a lot of engineering and manufacturing expertise – these skills are our strengths", says Profile's principal owner and CEO Marko Repo.
"We appreciate Profile´s expertise and quality. Also, product safety, ergonomics and hygiene are top notch. These special vehicles will be highly visible on German roads, and will play an important role in saving people's lives. I believe that our partnership with the Profile will continue in the future, "says Andreas Triftshäuser.
