Turin, 25 June 2020

Today is D-Day of the sustainable mobility revolution triggered in Italy by FCA Bank and its Leasys subsidiary. A new phase that starts with the presentation of the first totally electrified Leasys Mobility Store in Turin, the cradle of the Italian automotive sector, the place where Italy's industrial roots are planted.
True to their nature as mobility pioneers, FCA Bank and Leasys will contribute to disseminate the culture of hybrid and electric mobility thanks to the extensive presence of infrastructures throughout the country.

This process started with the installation of the first 8 22Kw charging stations at the new Leasys Mobility Store in the Torino Caselle airport, the first such store to be totally electrified out of the 300 already distributed extensively in the main Italian city centres, airports, ports and train stations. By the end of 2020 the number of stores will increase to 400, all electrified, for a total of 1,200 new charging stations, installed with support from Enel X, Leasys's partner in this project. The main Italian city centres, train stations and airports will have charging points for Leasys's customers as early as July, starting with over 100 in Turin, to be followed by Milan, Bologna, Rome, Naples and Palermo, just to mention a few.

The electrification of the Leasys Mobility Stores is the first step toward an increasingly sustainable mobility. In fact, in the next few months, Leasys is going to electrify its fleet, thanks to the new range of FCA vehicles, including the electric New Fiat 500 as well as the hybrid plug-in Jeep Renegade and Compass 4xe. The goal is to have a fleet with 60% of the vehicles either hybrid or electric, thus achieving a significant reduction of CO2 emissions.

'The new Leasys Mobility Stores are the place where the Living Mobility concept will increasingly come to life, in the shape of the integrated mobility system designed by Leasys to provide services from one hour to a lifetime', said Marcella Merli, Head of Sales & Marketing di FCA Bank, adding that 'Here we cater to our customers' every mobility need, with short/medium/long-term rentals, used cars online sales, assistance, financial and insurance services and, from today, also services linked to electric mobility'.

The third phase of the journey toward a more sustainable mobility includes the development of rent and mobility solutions that include the alternate availability of electric and conventional vehicles. Driving electric will benefit sustainability as well as freedom of movement, allowing access to limited-traffic zones in large cities.
