• Leasys and the EIB will equally contribute to a €600 million investment to support the Pan-European Clean Fleet Transport project across key European markets.
• The project will deploy a 24,000 zero-emission vehicles fleet, expanding Leasys’ EV offering and supporting wider market adoption.
• The initiative will deliver significant environmental benefits, cutting emissions and supporting the growth of Europe’s clean-mobility value chain. 

Leasys – the joint venture between Stellantis and Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility – and the European Investment Bank (EIB), signed a financing agreement to support the Pan-European Clean Fleet Transport operation, aimed at promoting sustainable mobility in Europe. The project foresees a €300 million credit envelope granted by the EIB and an equivalent €300 million co-investment made by Leasys, for a total of €600 million, supporting the deployment of a 24,000 zero-emission vehicles fleet across 10 European countries, including Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

The initiative – the first one between the two institutions – strengthens Leasys’ strategy to accelerate the transition to cleaner mobility solutions and expand access to electric vehicles for both corporate and private customers. The project is expected to deliver significant environmental benefits, with fleet performance substantially above current market averages, contributing to lower emissions, improved air quality and reduced noise levels in urban environments. It will also support the development of Europe’s clean-mobility value chain, fostering wider EV adoption and innovation across key markets.

“Supporting clean transport is central to the EIB’s climate goals. Rental and leasing companies, which manage millions of vehicles and regularly refresh their fleets, are uniquely positioned to drive the electrification of Europe’s vehicle fleet. Supporting companies like Leasys is a good way to accompany Europe’s transition to a low-carbon economy”, said EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle.

“We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with the EIB through an agreement that accelerates the deployment of a modern, competitive and fully electric fleet across Europe,” said Andrea Bandinelli, CEO of Leasys. “This financing enables us to respond more effectively to the growing demand for zero-emission mobility from businesses and private drivers across our markets.”
