Leasys unveils its electrification strategy

By 2024, Leasys’ short-term fleet will be 75% electric and plug-in hybrid, 100% by the end of 2027.

Rome, 13 October 2021

 

Fully electric, flexible and environment friendly. This is what the near future of mobility looks like for Leasys, the leading long-term rental company in Italy and major player at European level, which aims to complete the "mobility revolution" project launched over a year ago by 2024. The Company, a Stellantis brand and a subsidiary of FCA Bank, announces its electrification strategy and development plan for the upcoming years.

 

Specifically, by 2024 Leasys’s short-term fleet will be 75% electric and plug-in hybrid, 100% by the end of 2027, with a total fleet of more than 500,000 vehicles devoted to long, medium and short-term rentals. Within three years, the 1,000 fast charge points currently existing in Europe will triple, reaching a total of more than 3,000 in the 12 countries where Leasys is operational: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Spain.

 

The new Electrification strategy will unfold fully also at service level, with the offering of several 'from a minute to a lifetime' mobility solutions, designed to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles without the burden of ownership. Such solutions will range from CarCloud, the innovative monthly car subscription available in France, Italy and Spain, to Leasys Miles, the long-term rental pay-per-use product, ideal for occasional usage of the vehicles.

 

Customers will be able to choose Leasys Unlimited, another LTR product which combines in a single package all you need to enjoy a full peace of mind rental experience: unlimited kilometres as well as unlimited recharges at the Leasys Mobility Stores.

On top of that, customers will be able to try out and rent one of the New fully electric 500s with LeasysGO!, the company’s car sharing service currently operational only in 3 cities in Italy - Turin, Milan and Rome - but is ready to be launched in France by the end of 2021 and in Spain the following year. All of these solutions have been designed and deployed to foster customers’ acquaintance with electric mobility, lowering the barriers to entry in terms of logistics, flexibility and costs.

 

Finally, the 'mobility revolution' has also had a significant impact on the financial front. In July, Leasys placed a €500 million Green Bond, maturing in July 2024 and paying a fixed-rate coupon of 0.00 per cent. This issuance marks an important milestone for FCA Bank and Stellantis, as it represents the first issue of this kind for the Group. The Green Bond has been very well received by the market, raising € 2.3 billion euros from over 129 investors, and its proceedings will be used to finance the expansion of its fleet of low emission vehicles as well its network of fast charging points, further consolidating Leasys’s electrification efforts.

At the end of 2019, it launched the first car subscription service in Italy with CarCloud. With the Clickar brand, Leasys is also one of the leading Italian online and offline retailers of pre-owned company cars to individuals, professionals and companies. Headquartered in Italy, Leasys began a process of internationalization in 2017 by opening multiple offices throughout Europe: today the company operates in Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, Greece, Austria, and Poland, managing a fleet that will have over 400,000 vehicles by the end of 2021.

The Stores, which provide customers access to all the mobility services provided by Leasys, are now available in France and Spain as well and will open soon also in the other European countries where the company is operational. With the launch of the first totally electrified Mobility Store in Torino Caselle airport in 2020, followed by many others, Leasys has become a key operator also for sustainable mobility. In fact, thanks to the over 1,000 charging stations installed in all the stores, Leasys has Italy’s largest private electrified network. In 2021, the electrification project will continue also in the European countries in which Leasys operates. For more information: www.leasys.com
