THINK BIG START SMALL Streetscooter the e-mobile success story IF AN IDEA DOESN T SOUND ABSURD AT THE START, THEN IT DOESN T HAVE A CHANCE. Albert Einstein 1. Edition 2017, 481 p. Fig in colour. People love to challenge ideas at the start. The makers of StreetScooter approached things differently: they challenged the status quo they were presented with instead. In their view, the conventional process of innovation in developing new, sustainable products was much too complicated and too expensive. In the automobile industry, this takes many years and costs billions. The rapid development of an unusual company emerging from the RWTH Aachen University and now part of Deutsche Post DHL demonstrates how a radically different innovative thinking leads to affordable functionality, It is an e-mobile success story about a vehicle that is customized, economic, ecological, flexible, safe, and reliable.
