Marubeni and Lithia & Driveway Make a Strategic Investment in Wheels, Partnering with Apollo Funds Summary: Wheels, a leading fleet management company in North America, announced that it received a significant minority investment from Marubeni and Lithia & Driveway. The strategic investment aligns Wheels with notable players in the mobility space as it continues to innovate, building upon its best-in-class product offerings to corporate clients. As the pioneer in fleet leasing and services, Wheels recognizes that the automotive industry is constantly evolving and welcomes the deep industry knowledge that Marubeni and Lithia collectively contribute to our business. Marubeni has a strong track record of investing in companies across the US automotive value chain, dating back to 1958. Current Marubeni portfolio companies in the mobility sector include businesses focused on consumer auto finance, refrigerated trailer rental & leasing, and short-term commercial vehicle rentals. As an investor in Wheels in partnership with Apollo-managed funds focused on origination platforms and asset-backed finance strategies, Marubeni is aligned with Apollo’s long-term vision for Wheels, and in addition to providing expertise in the automotive sector, Marubeni enables further access to diversified funding channels through its longstanding relationships in Japan. Lithia, as one of the largest dealership groups in the US, shares Wheels’ commitment to delivering valuable offerings across the vehicle lifecycle, from vehicle acquisition and financing to maintenance and repair. Shlomo Crandus, the CEO of Wheels, said, “We are excited to receive the backing of two highly sophisticated investors. Our clients are always at the heart of everything we do, and that will continue as we innovate and grow with Marubeni and Lithia. While Wheels operates as a fleet management company today, the legacy business began in 1939 from an auto dealership, so we have a deep appreciation for the world-class business that Lithia has built and its dedication to customer satisfaction. We look forward to the strategic partnership and collaborative thinking with both Marubeni and Lithia.” Click here to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g_TkPej9 Click here for information on Marubeni’s Finance, Leasing & Real Estate Business Division : https://lnkd.in/g4gdEYbc Construction, Industrial Machinery & Mobility Division: https://lnkd.in/gg8_TVff #Marubeni

Nat'l Account Sales Exec at PACCAR Leasing | Full-Service Leasing | Equipment Acquisition Strategies and Consultant |
You should definitely 100% let drivers participate in your full-service lease acquisition strategy 👇 The 2️⃣ keys are getting their buy in and involvement: ⬇ Here are 3️⃣ ways: 👇 1️⃣ Let them participate in the spec process with PacLease - PACCAR Leasing Company (involvement & buy-in) ✔ ✔ ▶ Drivers are in the trucks all day. It's what they do. Would you change any process in your business without input from the people who actually perform the process? Then why would you spec trucks for drivers without getting their input? 2️⃣ Let them demo the truck from a PacLease - PACCAR Leasing Company location. (involvement & Buy-in) ✔ ✔ ▶ Would you lease or purchase any asset that you haven't tried? Let the drivers see and feel how the truck operates in real time. This will provide "feedback" - which you need and makes them part of the decision. 3️⃣ Get them to an OEM Kenworth Truck Co. plant tour. (involvement & buy-in) ✔ ✔ ▶ This enables them to see the quality of the product and what actually goes into producing the Kenworth Truck Co. 🗝 Now your drivers are part of the solution and will buy-in to the decision. How would these three steps mitigate any problems with your full-service leasing strategy ❓ 💯 This is a great way to involve / engage your drivers in the fleet acquisition strategy. Make them part of the process not a bystander to it. #kenworth #paclease #fullservicelease

Do you own all your own trucks? Do your drivers own them? Or are your trucks hired or leased? 🤔 For most companies, a combination of these options is common, but there appears to be a growing trend towards truck leasing. Particularly for younger people who are not attached to the ownership model, leasing can offer great advantages. It removes the work of servicing and maintaining a truck and looking after a depreciating asset. GoDesta’s Fleet Management function allows you to easily manage all your trucks and ownership models, whether owned by you, your drivers, or leased. What do you think about truck ownership? What advantages does it have over leasing? 👍👎❔ https://lnkd.in/gEYEQKcx #transportmanagement #supplychainmanagement #logisticsmanagement
