Europcar Mobility Group Seals a Very Innovative Partnership With Post Nord and Mercedes-Benz in Denmark, to Provide Full Electric Vans With a Long-Term Solution That Includes Connectivity and Data Management

Europcar Mobility Group, through its Vans & Trucks Business Unit, announces today that it has signed a very innovative business partnership in Denmark with Post Nord and Mercedes-Benz. This business partnership is based on a Europcar long-term rental solution tailored around the needs of Post Nord, 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.

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Closing a 2020 year during which the Vans & Trucks business of Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR) activity showed strong resilience and momentum despite the Covid-19 crisis, this business partnership with Post Nord and Mercedes-Benz is the epitome of a new breed of integrated “long-term rental” solutions, leveraging technology, fleet management and quality of service, in close cooperation with OEMs.

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. Without forgetting, of course, the Vans & Trucks Danish teams, who, under the leadership of Jesper Rasmussen, tailored this innovative and fully integrated offer around the needs of Post Nord.

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.

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.”
