Judge's comments
"The merging of two of the world’s largest vehicle funders could have resulted in the new company slowing down or even a temporary drop in service standards. So, the judges were impressed, that instead, ALD Automotive/LeasePlan did the opposite. They innovated, being the only company to offer TCO+, which analysing vehicles’ actual performance and Journey Profiling identifying the most cost effective EVs, based on customer needs. They have also launched their Next Generations Digital Architecture and have shared free knowledge/resources for customers to access savings and transitions to EVs."
