LEASEPLAN’S global fleet has now reached a record 1.5 million vehicles – the first fleet management and driver mobility company in the industry to reach operations of this scale. The growth has been fuelled by a drive for SME business, up 11% year on year.
Across the 32 countries where it operates, this new milestone compares with the 1.3 million vehicles it had in 2010, representing an 8% year-on-year increase in the number of vehicles under LeasePlan management, and is up from 1.4 million at the end of September 2014.
Nick Salkeld, chief commercial officer at LeasePlan, said: “Being the first company in our industry to reach the 1.5 million vehicle landmark confirms once again our global market leadership and underlines the success of our growth strategy.
“We do not, however, just want to be market leaders in fleet size – this landmark also confirms the confidence that our customers have in our company and the great team of LeasePlan people in all our countries who deliver our services worldwide.
“We want to continue to be market leaders in all that we do: in customer service, in product innovation and in the driver mobility solutions we offer. And we are not complacent. We will continue with our drive for growth, for customer service excellence and our commitment to lead the market in making the lives of our customers easier.”
LeasePlan’s local operating companies provide fleet management and mobility services to a wide variety of clients, ranging from large corporations and public-sector entities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and individual drivers.
In recent years it has increasingly focused on delivering new, innovative service offerings for SMEs to make this the fastest-growing client segment, reaching double digit growth, up 11% year on year, fuelling the expansion of the company’s global fleet.
Large international clients remain an important segment, served by LeasePlan International. This business has too expanded, with 8% growth year on year. Furthermore, the growth of LeasePlan’s worldwide fleet is also due to its strong corporate client base, which has grown 6% globally compared to the same time last year.
