We're Ayvens
A global leader in sustainable mobility.
Ayvens was born from the acquisition of LeasePlan (founded in Amsterdam in 1963) by ALD Automotive (founded in Paris in 1968), the global mobility player part of the Societe Generale group. By bringing together our complementary capabilities and expertise, we saw an opportunity to reimagine mobility as we know it.
Mobility is evolving
From electrification to digitalisation, global megatrends are reshaping the ways we move around. New services and new market entrants are changing the mobility ecosystem. And there’s a shift taking place from vehicle ownership to usership – creating exciting growth opportunities for ambitious players like us.
As the undisputed leader in our sector, we’re uniquely positioned to unlock value in the new world of mobility. We purchase, fund and manage new vehicles for customers around the world, providing a flexible, hassle-free, end-to-end leasing service for a typical contract duration of three to four years. With our wide range of products, channels and brands, we deliver seamless solutions that unlock the freedom of mobility.

PowerUP 2026
In 2023, we launched PowerUP 2026: Ayvens’ strategic plan to leverage our unique leadership position, shape the future of mobility and achieve excellence. Sounds ambitious? That’s because it is – but we never shy away from a challenge. Particularly when it comes to our four PowerUP priorities.
PowerUP for clients
We’re committed to making sustainable mobility easy for our clients. Our goal is to lead the way by offering a one-stop shop with the broadest client reach and geographical coverage, as well as the largest distribution capabilities (through more than 430 partnerships with OEMs and others).
By providing the power of choice – across all client segments and through a digital-to-consumer approach – we aim to innovate and meet evolving market demands. Our focus on Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), customer experience, multi-cycle leasing and digital services will set new standards in the industry.
PowerUP operational efficiency
Efficiency is at the core of our strategy. We’re dedicated to seamlessly integrating our two legacy companies and maximising our shared synergies. We’ll use our market leadership to leverage the power of scale to reduce costs and enhance value. And we’re committed to achieving best-in-class levels of operational efficiency by building the most efficient, scalable, global operating platform.
PowerUP responsibility
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) and risk management are fundamental to our strategy. We’ll keep leading the way to sustainable mobility by always advising clients on environmentally friendly choices, with our commitment to the electric vehicle (EV) transition and ambitious decarbonisation objectives reflecting our dedication. We’ll also invest in our employees and talent, foster a culture of responsibility and manage risks responsibly.
PowerUP profitability
Our financial objectives reflect our company’s ambition to grow while substantially improving our operating efficiency to best-in-class levels and maintaining a robust capital position. We aim to use our unique competitive positioning to boost profitability and deliver a strong financial performance.
