Europcar and Mercedes-Benz lease e-vans to PostNord

Europcar Mobility Group and Mercedes-Benz have teamed up for an innovative electric vehicle leasing agreement with PostNord in Denmark.

The partnership is based on a Europcar long-term rental solution tailored around the needs of PostNord, where Mercedes-Benz provides 25 e-vans and Europcar Mobility Group Denmark manages this fleet, from connectivity and data management to maintenance, ensuring a higher fleet availability.

The solution, tailored around Post Nord needs and expectations, includes:

• 25 new Mercedes-Benz eSprinters L2H2 11m3 vans, allowing a reduction of Post Nord CO2 emissions by 105 tons per year, in line with their CO2 neutrality by 2030 objective,

• Full fleet support provided by Europcar (replacement vehicles, maintenance, repairs, peak fleet provision), as well as vehicle connectivity and data management.

Yvonne Leuschner, Europcar Mobility Group Vans & Trucks Business Unit Director, declared: “I would like to thank Post Nord for choosing us as their partner in the deployment and management of their electric fleet, as well as Mercedes-Benz for their close cooperation and support in designing this offer.”

She continued: “Being able to engineer such solutions, which leverage technology through vehicle connectivity and data, fleet management and quality of service, makes us very optimistic for 2021, which we envisage with renewed ambitions, sticking to our daily commitment to playing a key role in our customers’ value chain.”

Leuschner added: “2020, despite the Covid-19 crisis, has once again demonstrated how relevant and agile the Vans & Trucks business model of Europcar Mobility Group is and the great results produced by the implementation of our Supersites strategy, where the customers can find Vans & Trucks experts, able to support the growth of their business.

“In 2021, we intend to push even stronger, opening new supersites in Germany and Spain, building on the key assets that are our network and the expertise, as well as the strong commitment and dedication to customers, of our entire staff.”
