New milestone: Ayvens reaches half a million Electric Vehicles on the road

Ayvens’ unique and diversified business model fully supports its sustainable objectives, notably through a broad range of solutions and services for clients and partners through greener powertrains or alternative mobility solutions, positioning the company as a key stakeholder in the EV ecosystem.

Ayvens has a strong EV programme in place to support its clients throughout their electrification journey, from defining their strategy to controlling their actual costs and carbon footprint. Powered by a 3.4 million vehicles data set and tools co-developed with its strategic clients, dedicated consultancy teams play an important role in providing advice and expertise to help clients optimise their car policy for both passenger cars and LCVs, including the total cost of ownership (TCO) and the CO2 footprint, while achieving sustainability objectives. This includes a 5-step methodology approved by hundreds of clients in 44 countries:

  Diagnose: conducting benchmarking against peers and sharing best practices, exploring client’s country and employee readiness with an annual Mobility Guide and creating a CO2 & TCO baseline to then define, with the client, its targets.

With the increasing proportion of new EVs in Ayvens’ fleet, and given the extended life expectancy of EVs, this ultimately represents a growing portfolio of well-maintained used EVs which can be made available for lease at attractive prices across multiple leasing cycles and channels. Ayvens aims to have 300,000 funded contracts by 2026 (vs. 180,000 in 2022) as part of its flexible subscription and used car lease offering, to further diversify its service offering and improve access to EVs. These vehicles will ultimately be made available for sale through Ayvens’ global multi-channel remarketing platform, ALD Carmarket, which represents more than 600,000 vehicles sold each year to a large range of buyers across 40 countries.

With 430 distribution partnerships worldwide, Ayvens is an industry pioneer in the indirect distribution of full-service leasing services. The company has built up a broad network of partnerships over the past ten years, notably with OEMs. New entrants and traditional OEMs in the European market partner with Ayvens to accelerate their footprint in the growing electric vehicle market, notably through fully digital solutions, and to diversify their distribution model for EVs by offering white-labelled full-leasing services to large corporates, SMEs and consumers. These partnerships contribute to Ayvens’ sustainable growth strategy as a key stakeholder in the energy transition, and fully support the company’s commitment to providing innovative and flexible mobility solutions.

Starting from a solid foundation and building on the decades-long legacies of two automotive leasing leaders, Ayvens’ ambition is to become the global leader in sustainable mobility. This historic milestone is proof of the company’s commitment to shaping the future of mobility and leveraging its power of leadership to lead the way to net zero.

Ayvens is the leading global sustainable mobility player committed to making life flow better. Ayvens was created in 2023 through the merger of ALD Automotive and LeasePlan. We have been improving mobility for decades, providing full-service leasing, flexible subscription services, fleet management and multi-mobility solutions to large international corporates, SMEs, professionals, and private individuals. With 15,700 employees across 44 countries, 3.4 million

vehicles and the world’s largest multi-brand EV fleet,

we are leveraging our unique position to lead the way to net zero and spearhead the digital transformation of the mobility sector. (The company is listed on Compartment A of Euronext Paris (ISIN: FR0013258662; Ticker: ALD). Societe Generale Group is Ayvens’ majority shareholder.)
