We haven't asked. Right now the next year of ProMaster production has
all been bought up by Amazon. Our preferred model is to convert a used
van that's already paid for it's environmental manufacturing cost, that
way our total footprint is way less. Plus it's way lower cost. Fleets
that own high-mileage vans can now take something they've already
depreciated, and renew it and drop the operation and maintenance costs
by a huge amount. It's a win-win, and we greatly extend the life of the
chassis.
Of course we are happy to convert a brand new van with a brand new Tesla
drivetrain if a customer wants it, but it costs more, both in $$$ and to
the environment.
Thanks! The situation (slowly) dawns on me. For the one off customer,
do you broker used vans? Or, is the customer expected to do his own
shopping?
Before this discussion, I was unaware that the new vans existed. It
seems that they must have been in service, though, for 5+ years.
