Leasys signs financing agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to boost zero-emission mobility across Europe

• 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 – the first one between the parties - 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 new 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 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.

“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.”

“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 accelerate the EU’s electrification and accompany Europe’s transition to a low-carbon economy”, said EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle.

Founded on projects promoting eight key priorities, it finances investments that contribute to EU policy objectives, bolstering climate action, environmental protection, digitalisation and technological innovation, security and defence, cohesion, agriculture and bioeconomy, social infrastructure, the capital markets union, and a stronger Europe in a more peaceful and prosperous world.
The EIB Group, which includes the (European Investment Fund (EIF), signed over 900 projects worth close to €89 billion in 2024, boosting Europe’s competitiveness and security.

All projects financed by the EIB Group are in line with the Paris Climate Agreement, as pledged in our Climate Bank Roadmap. Around 60% of the EIB Group’s annual financing supports projects contributing directly to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and promotes a healthier environment. Supporting the integration of markets and mobilising investments, the funds unleashed by the EIB Group in 2024 attracted investment worth over €100 billion for energy security and unlocked €110 billion in support of startups and pioneering firms in Europe. Around half of the EIB’s financing within the European Union goes to cohesion regions, where per capita income is lower than the EU average.
