Fisker Automotive has announced plans to bring the Karma to Fisker retailers across North America. While Fisker isn’t offering any ride or driving opportunities on the tour, current plans intend for customer deliveries to begin early 2011. 1600 deposits have been placed on the Karma so far. The two-month program begins on April 27 and will bring the stylish Karma to 42 cities in 26 states and 3 Canadian provinces. “This tour provides local retailers the opportunity to introduce the beautifully styled and environmentally friendly Karma to their customers and potential prospects,” said Marti Eulberg, Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing at Fisker Automotive. “Fisker Automotive has established a network of proven retailers that will deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction.” Plan on attending the tour?

Join us on Facebook: Fisker Automotive Facebook page Join us on Twitter:  Bernhard Koehler speaking at Delaware conference Fisker Automotive COO Bernhard Koehler offered new insight into the company’s plans at the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce legislative brunch and manufacturing conference on Wednesday. In just 8 weeks, Fisker Automotive will start moving into the former General Motors plant in Wilmington, Delaware. Koehler mentioned that Fisker is actively seeking to establish agreements with suppliers near the Delaware site, and will host a supply fair in May to see if partnership with local businesses is possible. Fisker’s project Nina is expected to enter production in 2012 with Karma production being shifted to the Delaware plant at a later, unspecified date. Fisker Automotive aims to operate the Wilmington plant at full production in 2014 at a rate of 100,000 cars per year. Besides the Karma and Nina sedans, model derivatives including a convertible version of the Karma named the Sunset and coupe and crossover variants of the Nina will contribute to the 100,000 per year total. Fisker plans to build cars in Delaware for export markets as well — especially Europe. Interestingly, Koehler mentioned that Fisker Automotive is looking to partner with other automakers to develop its next models. Who do you think are suitable partners for Fisker?
