A little bit of everything
Car rental company Sixt has placed a billion-dollar order with Stellantis. It buys around 250,000 cars from the parent company of Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat and Alfa Romeo, among others.
Stellantis will soon supply a series of models from various brands to Sixt. This includes passenger cars (from small to large), but also vans. This concerns cars with combustion engines, fully electric cars and hybrids. Stellantis will deliver the vehicles over the next three years and are intended for the European and North American rental markets. The first deliveries will take place from the end of March, Sixt says.
Sixt is the largest car rental company in Europe. “A great opportunity to introduce many people to our products,” emphasizes Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. It is not known what proportion of vehicles are fully or partly electric. In any case, Sixt aims to have 70 to 90 percent of its European rental car fleet electrified by 2030.
