To date, one of the trends in the auto financing market
of Ukraine is an increase in demand for commercial vehicles from corporate
clients. Thus, in September 2014 Porsche Finance Group (PFG) funded the
purchase of 18 items of MAN equipment. Both permanent and new customers used
this advantage of financing.
In June 2014,
Porsche Finance Group began the partnership with a leading international
supplier of commercial vehicles and services in the field of automobile
transportation – MAN Truck and Bus Ukraine Company. According to the signed
agreement, the financing of PFG on the Ukrainian market is distributed under
the brand MAN Finance on all the new equipment and the equipment with mileage.
The deal
significantly intensified the market: only in September there were delivered
nine MAN vehicles with MAN Finance, as well as nine semi-trailers and trailers
of various modifications to the current and new customers throughout Ukraine.
In general, currently more than half of all MAN equipment is being realized
with the financing of PFG.
It is
noteworthy that the first batch of tractors and trailers was delivered to the
company “Aero-Express” LLC, which presents TNT Company, the leader in the field
of transportation on the Ukrainian market.
“Aero-Express LLC” has been using the advantages of
financing of our company since 2013. Therefore, we are happy that now PFG has an
opportunity to finance not only light motor vehicle, but also large equipment
for regular loyal customers,”Josef Graf, CEO of Porsche
Finance Group, says.
“Our company is the only company in Ukraine among
express carriers that provides a full range of services in the international
shipping and delivery countrywide. And new high-quality automotive equipment is
the ticket to our success. So, the financing of PFG for us is very favorable
and convenient service”,Ihor Krugliak, General Director
of “Aero-Express”, confirms.
It should be
reminded that in the assortment of MAN there are not only MAN trucks, but also MAN
and Neoplan local, intercity and tourist buses. In addition, the company
imports diesel and gas engines, and also offers its customers a wide range of
services, technical support and financing. Under the terms of the financing,
buyers can take MAN trucks in the lease at 10.5% in dollars and 11.5% in euros.
The minimum advance fee is yet 15% and the company’s commission is 1.5%. The financing
period is from one to five years.
“We hope that this is the beginning of a successful
long-term cooperation. Due to the partnership with PFG we can provide our
customers with more favorable terms as compared to the other players in the
market”, Oleksandr Ostapovych, commercial
director of MAN Truck and Bus Ukraine, says.
