Entenmann said: “We already provide financing or leasing arrangements for one in two new vehicles from Daimler. For the full year 2016 we are expecting to achieve record figures for new business, contract volume, and overall revenue.”
Entenmann also emphasised that Daimler would “continue to invest in digital and networked mobility solutions”, mentioning their investment in Berlin-based start-up Blacklane.
The company also touted its investments in apps such as Daimler-created taxi app ‘mytaxi’ which was merged with a similar, British app ‘Hailo’ in July as part of its digital strategy.
