“We welcome the commitment being shown by Credit Agricole Consumer Finance towards enabling greater access to zero emission mobility for their employees,” said Fisker Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Henrik Fisker. “60% of new vehicle sales in Europe are through business-to-business transactions, and we are ready to partner with forward-thinking companies like Credit Agricole Consumer Finance as the market moves increasingly towards electrification.”
“We are proud to act for transformation to low-carbon mobility, as part of Credit Agricole Consumer Finance’s sustainability strategy,” said Agilauto Sales Director, François ASCHEHOUG (Credit Agricole Consumer Finance). “The Fisker Ocean will give our employees and the private banking market access to latest generation technology and performance while reinforcing our commitment to a low-carbon fleet.”
Fisker is projected to start production on its first vehicle, the Ocean electric SUV, in Q4 2022. The Fisker Ocean will initially be manufactured in Europe and sold across multiple markets in Europe and North America. Interest in the vehicle continues to build at an encouraging pace, Fisker says, with global paid reservations now standing at more than 14,000.
