Topic Discussed : New Business Opportunities Arising in Austria's Light Vehicle Leasing MarketSpeaker: Gopi SukumarKey Takeaways:As new business from corporate accounts begins to saturate, fleet leasing providers strive to tap the lucrative SME fleet customer segment.

Individuals are shifting towards private leasing in response to benefits like low down payments, maintenance covers, and a wide selection of vehicles. With the objective of curbing emission levels, Austria offers subsidies towards the sale of EVs and other low emission vehicles. This is expected to narrow down the gap in TCO between xEVs (hybrids and EVs) and diesel-powered vehicles.For further insights, please join us for future podcasts and become a member of Frost & Sullivan’s Leadership Council by emailing us at: digital@frost.com or click here to Contact Us.Related Keywords: Frost & Sulliv
