This announcement follows just three weeks after Odin officially acquired 
StSE's existing IP, production lines, and subsidiaries in Switzerland and 
Japan. Concurrently to the acquisition, DPDHL also placed an additional minimum 
order of 3,500 StSE vehicles and retained a 10% investment stake in the venture.


Odin's EVP of Operations John Burton, who in his more than 50 years of 
manufacturing experience has served as Executive Director for General Motors, 
deploying their manufacturing system in 12 plants across Europe and personally 
managing plants in the UK, Germany and Poland, and as both a Vice President for 
Fiat-Chrysler and General Manager of FCA's joint venture with GAC in China, 
oversaw the setup and reorganization of manufacturing operations under the new 
owners.


"We are incredibly proud to announce this step for our new venture and the 
tireless team behind it," said Burton. "We knew that the operational maturity 
of StreetScooter Engineering provided a huge first-mover advantage to us from 
the beginning, and today is proof that we meant it when we said we intend to 
capitalize on that advantage."
