12. THE ENVIRONMENT
SOLUTIONS FOR AN EV FLEET
•Manage Fleet Charging
•Rotate Fleet to Optimise Battery Wear
•Calculate and Manage Fleet Liquidity
•Smart Route Planning
•Recover Exhausted Vehicles
•Volume Deals on Electricity and Charging
Infrastructure
19. RISING COSTS
TIME IS MONEY
•Abstract away the admin overhead of dealing with
these disparate bills
•Make a single, predictable payment rather than
maintain many relationships
•Develop new finance products that help manage the
tax burden
•Give you the simplicity and transparency you need to
manage your fleet with confidence
28. THE SECOND BILLION
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR LEASING?
•New products to lease, new niches to lease into
•Cities that optimise traffic flow and vehicles that take
advantage of those optimisations for battery, time and
maintenance gains
•Mobility means multi-modality, and a leasing provider
can offer more flexibility
•If you’re doing business in these countries, you’ll want a
local mobility provider who knows your needs
33. DEVICES AND CONNECTIVITY
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE APPS
• Open Auto Alliance launched at CES 2014
• Google, Audi, Honda, Hyundai, Nvidia… and everyone’s welcome to join
38. DEVICES AND CONNECTIVITY
“The car used to be the signal of
adulthood, of freedom. It was the
signal into being a grown-up.
Now, the signal into adulthood for
teenagers is the smartphone.”
-Sheryl Connelly, Manager of Global
Consumer Trends & Futuring, Ford Motor Co.
41. DEVICES AND CONNECTIVITY
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR LEASING?
•Leasing companies will be an important repository of
valuable data – with the expertise to keep it secure
•Autonomous vehicles mean a new definition of “Duty
of care”
•Mobility provision doesn’t need to mean a one-to-one
relationship of cars to people
•Smart systems that can plan and manage your travel
across many modes, from a central interface
45. MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
NEW PRODUCTION METHODS
• iStream: separate
body/chassis assembly
• Chassis is scalable for size
• Prepainted body panels can
be prepared anywhere in the
world, not on-site
• Capital investment in factory
facility can be up to 80%
lower
• Not targeted at existing auto
manufacturers
50. MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR LEASING?
•Perk leasing agreements need to meet the desire for
personal expression
•Leasing companies can offer à la carte bolt on services
to exceed manufacturers’ offerings
•Clients need confidence that new materials won’t
mean unmanageable repair costs
•Commercial vehicles will need to do more to stand out
on the street
…at which point the PR benefit of an EV fleet will increase rapidly
Complexity of charging: Road charging, tax, etc
The most important thing to bear in mind about Megacities, especially the new ones in China, are that the later you start developing a city, the further along the technology curve it starts. Without legacy, these cities will be wired and smart from the beginning. (Paris, Istanbul)
Transport solutions in megacities are as much about density as anything else.
Traffic lights in Toronto that were programmed with game theory to autonomously manage traffic flow
Congestion reduced by 40%
Average travel times reduce by 25%
These solutions will come to the old world in smaller, more contained packages that fit into our existing infrastructure
LeasePlan is the world’s biggest leasing company so you can be certain that wherever you’re doing business, we have the local, specialist and personal knowledge to get you where you need to be.
App is better and cheaper.

There are no airplanes, only computers that fly. There are no cars, only computers we sit in. There are no hearing aids, only computers we put in our ears. There are no 3D printers, only computers that drive peripherals. There are no radios, only computers with fast ADCs and DACs and phased-array antennas.
Unique app needs of the car environment
But platform adoption is heavily dependent on the volume of apps available
If I’m the hot new startup I don’t want to develop 35 versions of my app
I think the third, because never bet against smart convergence, and I’d be surprised if car manufacturers could co-ordinate on a platform before the established device categories eat their lunch
VW from 2008
46% of 18-24yo’s would rather have a smartphone than a car
Only 30 percent of eligible teens get driving licences at 16, compared to 50% in 1978
21-30yo’s now drive 8% fewer miles than in 1995
…which means the car itself could be appified.
Your car has a data shadow of everything it uploads, that can be observed, measured and tweaked. What’s that data worth?
Annual value of data from your car

Cars will get lighter, fuel efficiency will get better, engines will get smaller (Ford’s new 1.0L ecoboost = 1.8L NA engine)
This is the trend that will counter appification, giving the driver a closer connection to the actual object of the car
Great Wall Steed
The future is a place where multi-modality in the name of energy efficiency is the norm, charging structures are complex and dynamic and the idea of owning a car is a declining proposition.
But it’s also a place where cars will be more fun to drive when you want to drive them, and will store, maintain and park themselves – IF you have the right mobility provider.
To support the kinds of services you’ll need in the future, LeasePlan is undergoing the biggest e-Business transformation programme in the industry to give us a platform that offers our customers efficiency, security, flexibility and transparency.
If we told you everything that’s in the report this presentation would be about 2 hours long, so instead we’re making the whole thing available online for free. The URL is on the cards we’ve handed out.
