“This strong performance is the result of our investment in growing market segments such as SMEs as well as our commitment to meeting our customers’ mobility needs with new and innovative solutions such as flexible leasing and telematics.”

LeasePlan is starting to roll out its corporate car sharing solutions on an international level, including an online booking and key-management portal for vehicles that will allow employees who occasionally require a company car to reserve and use a vehicle with no dedicated driver.

LeasePlan expects that the overall positive business momentum reported in the first half of this year will continue for the remainder of the year. The strength of the recovery of local economies will continue to vary and the associated strong currency movements will continue. However, because of a resilient second hand vehicle market and a focus on volume growth, LeasePlan is confident that it will continue to achieve good results for the rest of 2015.
