AEC Europe, official Dodge and RAM importer in the EU/EFTA celebrates five years of strong partnership with Santander Consumer Finance (SCF) in retail- and wholesale-financing.
It was exactly five years ago, on November 19th, 2015, when AEC started their financial service cooperation with Santander Germany. In these five years, both partners grew closer together, creating a win-win situation for both companies.
Santander’s expertise in financial services and AEC’s know-how as a globally active automotive solutions provider and official importer of the FCA brands Dodge and RAM vehicles and parts are an unrivaled match.
Tackling every task with close teamwork and face-to-face communication is the cooperation’s key to success. The steady growth in sales numbers is an ideal index for the continuous demand for niche-market vehicles. Many customers are wishing for an alternative to regular European vehicles. For them, many markets can only provide an insufficient choice.
Enthusiasts of legendary U.S. cars can now opt for various leasing contracts in addition to the financing solutions that are already provided. The cooperation reacts to market requirements and rising demand by customers in a joint effort.
“The collaboration with AEC is a great foundation for Santander to fortify our position as the market leader in the sector of finance solutions – also for special vehicles such as the typically American RAM 1500. We can offer a combination of attractive financing- and leasing-products and tailor-made support in sustainable growth to the dealerships. We are very happy about our great collaboration with AEC in the years past and we are sure of its future success.” says Daniele Moranelli, Director Collaboration Agreements at Santander.
“Our cooperation with Santander is the perfect proof for our strategic orientation. Just like that, we can offer finance solutions for our entire portfolio from a single source. Thanks to our collaboration, this benefit can be fully passed on to our retail partners, who can in turn give financing- and leasing-offers to end-customers much quicker. With Dodge, RAM, and the entire future portfolio of AEC, we are looking forward very much to years of successful partnership with Santander.” says Natalie Gitter, Director Corporate Communications and Strategic Cooperations at AEC.
