Joint call: Leasing companies should step up climate ambition and become real green leaders

An alliance of 20+ NGOs and consumer organisations across Europe are uniting and calling on Europe’s top 7 leasing companies – Alphabet, Arval, Athlon, Ayvens, Leasys, Mobilize and Volkswagen Financial Services – to accelerate their transition to electric cars. 

This means:

• Set a phase-out date to stop leasing fossil fuel cars latest by 2028.
• Set ambitious interim zero-emission targets that are well ahead of the market in order to achieve this 2028 goal.
• Increase the share of smaller and more affordable battery electric vehicles in your portfolio. 
• Increase transparency and disclose the number and type of cars that you are registering in the EU and its markets.
• Advocate for policy changes on a national and EU level that incentivise and enable the transition to electromobility in the leasing sector.
