Wensink Automotive is a large dealer holding company in the Netherlands. They provide sales, maintenance, damage repair and service to all brands and types of vehicles from passenger cars & vans to trucks. They are also brand dealers for Mercedes-Benz, Ford & Kia. Wensink sells and repairs fully electric vehicles. The sale is mainly new or nearly new driven (with factory warranty).This is due to private individuals' fear of the costs of an electric car. This ensures a lower market value of older electric vehicles, especially if the battery pack is already starting to become less.

By being able to sell (older) vehicles with a high quality and a long warranty period, a new segment is added to the market for electric vehicles. This segment is now often hesitant to switch to sustainable driving. The residual value of new ones will also improve, making the turning point for sustainable driving even more attractive.

Batteries are not currently being repaired. We don't have a fixed solution. Wensink believes in working together and finding partnerships. Do you have a professional solution in reference to a battery? From cells to packages we are interested. Other (reuse) solutions are also welcome. Of course, a reliable solution that we can offer to our customers is a must. This includes product liability. But certainly also our up to 36 months warranty packages (also on the battery pack). With this we are looking for a company who has a solution or a direction towards a solution. 

Which disciplines do we need?

● Creativity and innovation. Think outside of the box, our solution might be in your field.

● Knowledge of material construction, especially towards battery packs

● Assurance / Product liability
