Norway considers return of Think electric cars
Ford Motor Corporation has agreed to return about 300 Think brand electric cars to Norway for resale instead of junking them in the US. The earlier plan had drawn protests from Norway, where the model was initially developed. Scandinavian shipping line Wallenius Wilhelmsen has agreed to transport the cars for free. The Think project is reckoned to have cost Ford around US$150 million (€123 million) since its take-over of the Norwegian manufacturer in 1999.
