Erich Sixt, chairman of the board, Sixt SE: "As one of the world's most successful mobility providers, we aim to become a market leading player in the European Van & Truck rental business in the long term, while cornering relevant market shares in the USA in the medium term. We are looking forward to working with Daniel Marasch and together we will do our utmost to achieve this goal. By establishing the Van & Truck management division, SIXT is creating the necessary entrepreneurial scope to focus on the division's global expansion - on an equal footing with the successful mobility sector. SIXT is also responding to the increasing importance of the Van & Truck product sector, which has proved to be a stable, strong-selling constant in our mobility portfolio, especially during the Covid-19 crisis." In addition, SIXT aims to significantly improve the customer experience by seamlessly digitalising the Van & Truck rental business. With its ONE mobility platform and smart vehicle connectivity via telematics, SIXT is ahead of the curve and offers the ideal infrastructure to let customers enjoy fully digitalized and therefore highly flexible renting and use of vans and trucks in the future. Konstantin Sixt, Chief Sales Officer, Sixt SE: "In recent years, the Van & Truck product sector has become the hidden champion of our product portfolio. We identify a huge sales potential in this area - in Germany, and more so in our international markets. By digitalising rental, we aim to improve the use experience for our customers significantly. As we see it, our ONE mobility platform, the highly digitised processes and our determination to grow are the ideal prerequisites for cornering the relevant market shares." Daniel Marasch, new board member for Van & Truck Sixt SE, says: "SIXT has the vision and determination to become a key international player in the hitherto highly fragmented Van & Truck rental market. I will use all my experience of international logistics chains, full-scale international expansions and success-focused team leadership to achieve this ambition. SIXT's entrepreneurial dynamism and lively will to grow are a great incentive for me. Van & Truck is set to become a long-term growth driver for our company." Press contact
