Overview
ALD SA is an international mobility-services group focused on vehicle leasing and fleet management. Its full-service leasing combines vehicle financing with services such as maintenance, while fleet-management services cover vehicles owned by clients; the group formed Ayvens through its acquisition of LeasePlan.[1][2][3]
Ayvens describes its mission as “making life flow better” through sustainable mobility, and lists operations in 44 countries. The company website reports 15,700 employees; external-customer revenue was €12.662 billion for the first half of 2026.[4][5] [1][2][5][4][3]
Products & services
ALD SA, operating as Ayvens, offers full-service leasing: a monthly payment covers vehicle financing and depreciation along with services such as maintenance, replacement vehicles, tyre management, fuel cards and insurance. It also provides fleet management for customer-owned vehicles, covering operational services while excluding financing and depreciation.[1][2]
Other offerings include used-vehicle remarketing through Ayvens Carmarket, where professional buyers can use auctions, tenders or instant purchase, and private customers can buy or lease used cars.[6][7] Ayvens also describes flexible leasing, mobility services through its Move app, fleet consultancy and electric-vehicle transition support, including charging, maintenance, driver support and reporting; availability and terms vary by market.[8][9][10][11] The cited reporting presents leasing and services margins separately but does not state these offerings as percentages of revenue.[12] [1][2][12][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Geographic presence
In its 2025 reporting, ALD SA’s operating group is organized into four geographic regions. Region 1 covers France, Portugal and Algeria, as well as Mexico, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Brazil; it generated €5,611.4 million in external-customer revenue, about 22.3% of the group total, and accounted for 3,232 employees (24.5%).[13][14][15] Region 2 includes Italy, the Czech Republic, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, the UAE and the UK; it contributed €8,226.8 million (32.6%) in revenue and 4,281 employees (32.4%).[16][14][15]

Business segments
ALD SA (Ayvens) reports four geographic operating segments, rather than distinct product-focused businesses. For the six months ended 30 June 2026, Region 1—covering France, Portugal, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Algeria—generated €2,823.0 million, approximately 22.3% of group revenue. Region 2, including Italy, the UK, Ireland, Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries, generated €4,148.6 million (32.8%). Region 3, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Nordic and Baltic countries, and Luxembourg, generated €3,280.2 million (25.9%). Region 4, including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, India, Malaysia and Thailand, generated €2,410.3 million (19.0%). Shares are calculated from the reported segment revenues and total group revenue of €12,662.2 million.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]
The company also describes its activities as Full-Service Leasing and Fleet Management, but these are business activities rather than its reported operating segments. Full-Service Leasing combines vehicle financing and depreciation with services such as maintenance and insurance; Fleet Management involves managing client-owned vehicles, generally without providing financing or depreciation. Separately, H1 2026 revenue comprised leasing (44.4%), services (21.9%) and proceeds from cars sold (33.6%); these are revenue categories, not operating segments.[1][2][27] [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][26][26][26][26][1][2][27][27][27]
Company history
ALD’s predecessor histories began with LeasePlan, founded in Amsterdam in 1963, and ALD Automotive, established in Paris in 1968 as a Société Générale subsidiary. In 2001, Société Générale acquired ALD Interleasing and launched the ALD Automotive brand, followed by acquisitions including Deutsche Bank’s European car-leasing activity and Hertz Lease Europe in 2003.[28][29][30]
ALD completed its acquisition of French fleet-leasing company Parcours in May 2016. It launched an initial public offering in June 2017 and began trading on Euronext Paris that month. In January 2022, ALD announced its proposed acquisition of LeasePlan; after signing a framework agreement in April 2022, it completed the €4.8 billion acquisition in May 2023. The combined group announced Ayvens as its global mobility brand in October 2023. Shareholders approved changing the company’s name from ALD to Ayvens in May 2024, and the shares began trading under the AYV ticker in June 2024.[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
