We’re Ayvens, a global leader in sustainable mobility. And in a world that needs more intuitive and more sustainable ways of moving, we’re committed to making life flow better for all our customers, from large corporates to private individuals.

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.

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 five years.

Where we've come from
Ayvens was born from the acquisition of LeasePlan by ALD Automotive, 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.

With 15,700 employees operating in 44 countries, 3.4 million vehicles worldwide and the world’s largest multi-brand EV fleet, we’re helping life and business to flow better, leading the way to net zero and spearheading the digital transformation of the mobility sector.
