The local operating leasing market reached 35,500 vehicles mid-2011, according to Bogdan Apahidean, general manager of Leaseplan. This volume is 11% larger on the year.
Regarding the fleets managed, the company has noted that clients prefer cheaper cars, at times replacing Nissan Navara fleets with Dacia Duster fleets.
Petrom, for example, uses mostly Duster and Navara SUVs.
In terms of ranking, most cars in the managed fleets are Dacia, followed by Volkswagen, Ford and Skoda.
Leaseplan posted sales of EUR23 million in 2010. In the first half of this year, the company posted sales of EUR14 million, up 40% on the year, according to Apahidean.
The company has 48 employees.
