Deliveries are expected to start in the second quarter 2017 to gradually increase up to full capacity in 2018. After that, deliveries will continue over a number of years related to the life span of the vehicle, which is normally between 5 to 10 years, with a gradual slowdown as the contract nears its end. The full annual value is expected to reach EUR 700 thousand in 2018 and then follow the life span of the vehicle and the volume curve.
