By GlobalDataSixt Leasing SE is one of Germany’s leading manufacturer- and bank-independent vehicle leasing providers with subsidiaries in Austria, Switzerland, France and the Netherlands.
Sixt leasing says it was the first German company to launch a vehicle leasing programme. Sixt leasing expanded its contract portfolio in online and fleet management in the third quarter of 2019. This was due to the successful sales cooperation between Sixt Neuwagen, Fiat and Tchibo, the company said.
The fleet management business also saw its contract portfolio increase by 2.7 per cent in the previous quarter maintaining growth momentum.
In the fleet leasing business area the contract portfolio declined by 3.3 per cent over the third quarter.
As a whole, the group’s contract portfolio in Germany and abroad grew by 0.8% from the end of June to the end of September 2019, the company reported last year.
