The vehicles from Vietnam (symbolic image) have already traveled a long way by sea. They are currently waiting at the port in Koper (Slovenia) to continue their journey. The first cars are due to roll into Styria in November.(Bild: Krone KREATIV/viennareport.at, google Street View)

From Vietnam via Koper to Neuberg an der Mürz: the remote town in Upper Styria is currently the subject of much speculation about a huge new storage area for hundreds of cars. The "Krone" newspaper has the first details of the project.

There is excitement in the tranquil community of Neuberg an der Mürz, known for the Mürzsteg hunting lodge, which serves as the summer residence of the Federal President. Up to 1200 electric cars are to be parked on the site of the former sawmill.
