Thanks to the acquisition of shares in HAMA Polska, we will expand the EFL Group's offer by renting trucks >3.5t as well as semi-trailers and trailers. First of all, these will be the vehicles of our partners, with whom we already cooperate by providing financing, i.e. DAF, Man, Iveco as well as Koegel and Kassbohrer trailers.

Strategic cooperation with Europejski Fundusz Leasingowy will strengthen the position of DBK Rental as the leader on the commercial vehicle rental market in Poland.
