Mekonomen Bilverkstad in Drammen in Norway is strategically located in a municipality of high growth in number of electric cars. The workshop will be the first workshop in Mekonomen Group being trained to take care of electric cars.

The high growth in the number of electric cars in Norway makes Norway currently the most interesting country for Mekonomen Group's initiative in electric cars.
