Sixt will buy SUVs, urban cars, vans, lorries, and cutting-edge battery-electric vehicles under this deal. Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares emphasized this strategic move after Sixt said it will phase out its Tesla fleet.

Europe's largest car rental company, Germany-based Sixt, has committed to procuring 250,000 Stellantis vehicles for utilization in both European and North American markets, with completion anticipated by 2026.

As shared in recent reports, in this strategic partnership, Sixt has committed to procuring a staggering number of vehicles within the span of the next three years.

This decision comes after Bloomberg published Sixt's Tesla fleet phaseout. Sixt took this serious course due to a notable depreciation in used electric vehicles (EVs), rising maintenance expenses, and diminishing Tesla model demand.

The size and variety of vehicles gained through this relationship with Sixt are significant.The deal includes Stellantis's innovative electric automobiles.

As indicated in reports, the automotive giant intends to investigate potential partnership avenues with Sixt in multiple global regions, including Mobilisights, as outlined in the recent press release.

Sixt's purchase of Stellantis vehicles, including BEVs, supports its goal of reducing rental fleet CO2 emissions. It aims to achieve a substantial share of 70-90 percent electrified vehicles in Europe by 2030 as part of its environmental sustainability efforts.

Moreover, its charging infrastructure investments, App development into a sustainable mobility ecosystem, and rapid branch and facility CO2 emission reduction are supported by this program.
