Commenting on the second quarter results, Tex Gunning, CEO of LeasePlan, said:
“LeasePlan’s excellent Q2 performance demonstrates the strong growth opportunity in the mobility market. Fleet growth reached 7.5% and demand for our used car offering remained high. The global drive to cut emissions also continued to support growth, with 26% of LeasePlan deliveries being an electric vehicle.
In June we announced that LeasePlan USA will join forces with Wheels Donlen. With its increased scale and investment firepower, the new business will be in pole position to thrive in the unique dynamics of the US market and accelerate the future of mobility for American drivers.
Looking ahead, we are excited by the opportunities the proposed combination with ALD will bring for LeasePlan and the mobility sector. Integration planning is now underway as the best talents in the industry work together to lead the shift to sustainable, subscription-based mobility services.”
