LeasePlan leads first large-scale EV deployment in Poland

The 150 cars will be allowed to use Wroclaw’s bus lanes and be exempt from parking fees and restrictions. In addition, drivers using the new EV fleet will be able to use special parking places located throughout the city.

Artur Sulewski, commercial director at LeasePlan Poland, said: “We’re delighted to have partnered with Enigma and the City of Wroclaw on this exciting initiative.

“This is not only the first major city car-sharing initiative in Poland, but also the first large-scale deployment of electric cars in our country. In addition, it’s a great proof-point of LeasePlan’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions from our total fleet by 2030.”

As part of its commitment to achieve net zero emissions from its total fleet by 2030, LeasePlan has defined a new sustainability strategy.

Key focus areas include educating customers on low-emission vehicles; facilitating the uptake of low-emission vehicles with attractive customer propositions developed by the LeasePlan Electric Vehicle Experience Centre; leading the development of a sophisticated second-hand car market of well-maintained, high-quality lease vehicles; and transitioning LeasePlan’s own employee fleet to an electric vehicle fleet by 2021.
