How Vehicle-as-a-Service is accelerating BEV sales in Europe

Munich, September 2022

he intensifying trend from vehicle ownership to usership has already been proven by our recent customer survey. VaaS providers are now echoing our results: The demand for flexible and digital VaaS products is increasing and fuels BEV sales in Europe.

In January 2022, we published a survey asking a representative set of customers on their future mobility needs. The results were clear: Customers increasingly demand flexible VaaS products, they will choose fully digital online journeys more often and they are willing to try new brands and drivetrains. Hence, VaaS also drives digitalization in vehicle sales and contributes to BEV adoption.

To complement the customer perspective, we now asked some of the leading providers how they perceive the trend towards VaaS, how they assess its implications and how they plan to act upon it. In our latest study we interviewed:

  • Benedikt Schell, CEO, Mercedes-Benz Bank
