Vehicle ownership is something that can be expensive to companies, and harmful to the environment. Leasing provider Alphabet's mobility solutions are helping others to control their carbon footprint

Recently the world has witnessed landmark changes in user demands. Now a growing number of companies actively forego vehicle ownership in favour of innovative sharing economy alternatives, such as those from leasing provider Alphabet. Future-orientated mobility solutions offer a great number of benefits, from lower costs and a smaller carbon footprint to more flexibility and transparency.

Changes in business mobility have made the topic increasingly complex. The market offers ever more solutions, mobility demands alter regularly, and there’s a growing importance for hot-button issues such as sustainability and carbon dioxide emissions.

Alphabet can pinpoint how mobility best fits into a company’s operations and, based on this information, develop a tailor-made, holistic solution

More than anything, customers expect simple, smart solutions that make business mobility easy and convenient. Alphabet provides this by looking at the bigger picture and applying its consulting approach. Through exchanges with fleet managers, as well as the CEO, mobility users and HR managers, Alphabet can pinpoint how mobility best fits into a company’s operations and, based on this information, develop a tailor-made, holistic solution.

By targeting innovation from the start, Alphabet has been a key player in disrupting the leasing industry. Its innovation, leadership and profound knowledge in the fleet industry, reflected in its comprehensive and future-proof product portfolio, sets the company apart from other players and gives it a leading edge.

Products that drive the future
With AlphaCity, Alphabet gives the perfect response to the issues raised by current changes in mobility behaviour. A corporate carsharing product, AlphaCity provides tailor-made solutions based on a business’ individual mobility requirements. Outside of working hours, employees can book the vehicles for private use at their own cost, a feature that serves as an attractive employee incentive and helps a company balance its budget by optimally utilising the fleet. Doing so permitted one Alphabet customer, for example, to finance one sixth of its fleet.

Consideration for long-term environmental effects is at the core of Alphabet’s strategy, starting with its cost-efficient and lean business practices. But Alphabet has also forged new ground with AlphaElectric, its comprehensive, easy-to-integrate eMobility solution, and its dedicated consulting tool, the Electrification Potential Analysis (EPA). In just a few steps, AlphaElectric allows for a convenient implementation of eMobility into corporate fleets, taking care of vehicle selection, optimal charging infrastructure and add-on mobility services – all from one single source.

The business mobility growth track
There’s no doubt that recent changes in consumers’ mobility needs have forever altered the mobility landscape, with the trend of sharing over owning and the growing demand for flexible mobility solutions as key drivers. Alphabet’s Alphabet Mobility Budget, currently on the market in the Netherlands, provides a future-oriented solution that grants employees access to a flexible range of mobility options. Using their fixed budget, employees assume responsibility for spending it on mobility forms of their choice – from public transport and cycling to carsharing options.

The 2015 World Economic Forum bears the motto ‘The New Global Context’, a fitting topic for the fleet industry and leasing provider Alphabet. Thanks to its far-reaching global presence and local expertise, it is equipped to provide exceptional customer service to international customers wherever they decide to go next. Its customers appreciate being able to procure all services from one single source. This commitment builds the foundation for Alphabet’s long-term success.
