Transforming
transportation
On the mobility side, we are
preparing for a number of big
trends. One the transition from
ownership to subscription
models, and as part of this we
expect to see a higher level of
vehicle utilization. Right now,
ﬂeet utilization is typically less
than 10%: I take my car to work,
I park it, it stands there for eight
hours, and then I go home.
Maybe I'll drive a little bit on
the weekend. The actual use of
this fairly expensive asset is very
low. For economic and
environmental reasons, this has
to change.
A second, related, development
we are watching closely is the
progress being made towards
autonomous vehicles. My best
guess is that within the next
three years we will see the ﬁrst
truly autonomous cars, and
within ﬁve years, we're going to
see them really start to take oﬀ.

2019, as the OEMs introduce
electrics with high mileage
batteries. The move to Electric
Vehicles (EVs) will change how
we manage ﬂeets going forward
as we start to think about things
like charging infrastructure.
LeasePlan is leading by example
in this area, with the ambition
to transition our employee ﬂeet
to EVs by 2021.
Externally, we are trying to keep
up with the changes through a
number of strategic
partnerships. One is with Uber.
For Uber it's not only about
getting customers in the back
seat. It's also a question of
securing enough vehicles -
people in the driver's seat. In a
number of cases the problem is

that some of these potential
drivers don't have cars. So we're
looking at how we might help
Uber help more of these drivers
get cars in a way that is relevant
for Uber, relevant for us, and
aﬀordable for the drivers.
We are also working with
external partners that are rolling
out charging stations and
developing a new maintenance
system that takes us out of the
maintenance business and gives
it to OEM garages and
independent garages. Finally,
we're involved in EV100, a UN
initiative to convert the world to
electric vehicles.

A third trend is the move away
from the traditional combustion
engine towards electric or
hybrid-powered vehicles. We
expect these vehicles to come
on very strong beginning in
