The leasing firm is to take up to 650 vehicles for early delivery in 12 European markets before the end of 2012 as part of a move to enable fleets to benefit from green mobility.

LeasePlan will also work closely with Opel on how fleets can introduce the Ampera to their fleets. This will include a six-month programme of roadshows at various locations across Europe to enable fleets to learn all about the technology, characteristics and everyday capabilities of the Ampera, as well as having opportunities to drive the car.

‘We are pleased to develop this international co-operation with Opel for the introduction of the new Opel Ampera. It is co-operation agreements such as this that further supports our global GreenPlan service in helping our clients to reduce both cost and emissions associated with running their fleets,’ said Vahid Daemi, CEO of LeasePlan Corporation NV.
