Compared with the previous year, the result represents an increase of around 500 percent. In the year under review, Quantron delivered 30 zero-emission vehicles to IKEA, among other customers. In this way, the zero-emission experts from Ausburg are making a contribution to the furnishing group’s goal of becoming climate-positive by 2030. 

Against the backdrop of continuously increasing demand from further potential customers, Quantron AG is aiming for an order volume of 400 vehicles in 2022, which corresponds to a potential total turnover of 50 – 60 million euros in the conversion business, Quantron says.
