Porsche Finance Group financed the first vehicles from MAN Тruck and Bus Ukraine within MAN Finance program

To date, one of the trends in the auto financing market of Ukraine is an increase in demand for commercial vehicles from corporate clients. Thus, in September 2014 Porsche Finance Group (PFG) funded the purchase of 18 items of MAN equipment. Both permanent and new customers used this advantage of financing.

In June 2014, Porsche Finance Group began the partnership with a leading international supplier of commercial vehicles and services in the field of automobile transportation – MAN Truck and Bus Ukraine Company. According to the signed agreement, the financing of PFG on the Ukrainian market is distributed under the brand MAN Finance on all the new equipment and the equipment with mileage.

The deal significantly intensified the market: only in September there were delivered nine MAN vehicles with MAN Finance, as well as nine semi-trailers and trailers of various modifications to the current and new customers throughout Ukraine. In general, currently more than half of all MAN equipment is being realized with the financing of PFG.

It is noteworthy that the first batch of tractors and trailers was delivered to the company “Aero-Express” LLC, which presents TNT Company, the leader in the field of transportation on the Ukrainian market.

“Aero-Express LLC” has been using the advantages of financing of our company since 2013. Therefore, we are happy that now PFG has an opportunity to finance not only light motor vehicle, but also large equipment for regular loyal customers,” Josef Graf, CEO of Porsche Finance Group, says.

“Our company is the only company in Ukraine among express carriers that provides a full range of services in the international shipping and delivery countrywide. And new high-quality automotive equipment is the ticket to our success. So, the financing of PFG for us is very favorable and convenient service”, Ihor Krugliak, General Director of “Aero-Express”, confirms.

It should be reminded that in the assortment of MAN there are not only MAN trucks, but also MAN and Neoplan local, intercity and tourist buses. In addition, the company imports diesel and gas engines, and also offers its customers a wide range of services, technical support and financing. Under the terms of the financing, buyers can take MAN trucks in the lease at 10.5% in dollars and 11.5% in euros. The minimum advance fee is yet 15% and the company’s commission is 1.5%. The financing period is from one to five years.
