The first of several hundred TH!NK city electric vehicles arrived in the U.S. for demonstration programs in San Francisco and Dearborn, MI. The vehicles arriving today will help peak customer interest in the fun, innovative and environmentally friendly electric vehicles. Ford plans to bring a redesigned version of the TH!NK city, now on sale in Scandinavia, to the U.S. in 2002. TH!NK is delivering 15 TH!NK city cars to Hertz in San Francisco. Hertz will begin offering the vehicles to BART shared-car subscribers at Hertz's Fremont station facility. Subscribers in the share-car program will be able to use the cars to commute from home to the Fremont station (home end users) or from the Fremont station to work (corporate end users). Hertz will also have a limited number of TH!NK city electric vehicles available for daily rental at its Fishermen's Wharf location for visitors looking for a small, convenient city runabout vehicle. Rental of the TH!NK city cars through Hertz are subject to availability. In addition to the vehicles delivered to Hertz, TH!NK is delivering 40 city electric vehicles to Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn as part of the company's pool car fleet. Ford requested and was granted permission to bring up to 750 TH!NK cities to the U.S. for demonstration purposes. TH!NK plans to launch several more demonstration programs throughout the U.S. over the next year and a half.
