Volkswagen Financial Services and AMAG Leasing form fleet joint venture in Switzerland

To strengthen the international fleet business

To exploit joint synergies and expand the product range

Braunschweig, 11 July 2023. Volkswagen Financial Services AG and AMAG Leasing AG are extending their collaboration in fleet business operations in Switzerland. As a result, Volkswagen Financial Services AG is acquiring a 50 percent stake in movon AG, a subsidiary of AMAG Leasing AG that focuses on fleet leasing and full-service solutions for business customers. The aim of the joint venture is to expand the range of products and services and to create digital tools for fleet owners and dealers. 

"Our goal is to become one of the largest European fleet providers. To achieve this, we need to offer our customers services of the highest standard in all markets. With the new joint venture, we are underlining our ambitions in this area and will further fortify our position in Switzerland," said Sven Kunath, Senior Vice President Fleet at Volkswagen Financial Services. 

Sergio Calabrese, Managing Director of movon AG, commented: "We are very pleased that we can benefit from the international experience of our German colleagues through the joint venture. Together, we will continue to expand the range of products and services we offer and can align this portfolio even more closely with the needs of modern vehicle fleets." 

Enhanced product and service range and digital tools

One of the main objectives of the joint venture is to enable the further development of digital fleet management and reporting systems along with digital tools for business customers and dealers. Customers, for example, have direct access to their own fleet and can trigger and control actions themselves. In addition, all data on the fleet vehicles, such as cost overviews or consumption, can be called up in real time. Dealers, on the other hand, have the possibility of calculating offers and digitally submitting them to movon AG at the point of sale – without system discontinuities, which ensures a more efficient and faster processing.
