Daimler looking to expand relationship with Tesla, more EVs in the works?

by SpeedLux

Daimler has recently revealed that the company wants to expand their existing relationship with Tesla.

Speaking at recent press conference, Daimler CFO Bodo Uebber said that he has told his team to go back to Tesla and look for other opportunities. They want to look for more cooperation. The executive declined to give further details but currently Tesla supplies the electric motors and batteries for the Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive and Smart Fortwo Electric Drive.

While Mercedes appears to be in process of considering more electric vehicles, the company has also announced its plans to rapidly expand their hybrid lineup. The new models will use a modular and scalable hybrid system that can work with inline four-cylinder engines as well as V6 petrol engines.

It would be a great thing if the partnership is able to get some more opportunities and this could mean that we may get a chance to see some more EVs in the future if all turns out well for both companies. As of now we have to wait for further updates on this and final confirmation from both sides about the growth in partnership.
