On 3 November 2023, Tim Albertsen, CEO of Ayvens, commenting on the Q3 2023 Group results, stated: "The integration of LeasePlan is progressing according to plan, with a number of key initiatives well underway and our first procurement objectives already reached. In parallel, we have taken two important steps towards becoming “one”. First, we presented our PowerUP 2026 strategic plan, whereby we draw on our industry leadership to shape the future of mobility and achieve excellence around our 4 priorities: clients, operational efficiency, responsibility and profitability. Second, we launched our global mobility brand ‘Ayvens’ which unites the two companies together under a single identity and highlights our new brand promise. Against the backdrop of challenging macroeconomic conditions and normalizing, yet still favourable used car markets, Ayvens achieved a solid commercial performance and mixed financial results, compared to a historically high 2022 base and confirmed its strong capital position and funding capabilities. I am confident that we will further demonstrate the relevance of our business model and create value in the months ahead by delivering on synergies, thanks to the commitment of our teams."
