Allane Mobility Group increases reach by cooperating with Europe's largest platform for used cars, thereby achieving top prices.

Berlin, February 22, 2022 - AUTO1.com, Europe's largest trading platform for used cars, is cooperating with Allane Mobility Group (former Sixt Leasing) with immediate effect, thus securing an additional supply of 10,000 high-quality lease returns and fleet vehicles per year. In a separate, automated real-time auction - the "Catalogue Auction" - the vehicle inventory is available online to registered partner dealers. By partnering with AUTO1.com, Allane Mobility Group expands its remarketing network to include more than 60,000 active buyers in 30 markets across Europe and achieves top prices for its used cars.

At Allane Mobility Group, the cooperation is viewed extremely positively, as Andreas Birgmann, Director Remarketing at Allane SE, explains: "The technical connection of the systems has worked without any problems and the first runs have delivered very satisfactory results. With its focus on the digital business model for the commercial vehicle trade, AUTO1.com is an ideal partner for us to efficiently market our lease returns and fleet vehicles. The innovative spirit that emanates from both sides is an excellent prerequisite for joint business success."

The "Catalogue Auction" takes place weekly throughout Europe and includes 250 to 300 high-quality leasing and fleet vehicles of various brands and models. During the so-called "Catalogue Phase", buyers can examine the vehicles for seven days, put them on their own watch list, and place bids directly. Weekly, every Thursday at 11 a.m., the "Turbo Phase" begins. The vehicles are presented one after the other for a short time. At this moment, buyers have the last chance to place their final highest bid for the highly demanded vehicles and win the auction. After the auction buyers benefit from the extensive logistics support provided by the Europe-wide AUTO1 logistics network with 300 partners. For example, each vehicle can be delivered to the buyer within Germany at a fixed price of EUR 159 (net) in just a few days.

"Through our very active buyer network in Europe, our new partner Allane Mobility Group benefits from dynamic bidding behavior, and as a result, best prices. Car dealers, on the other hand, are always searching for high-quality vehicles that they can buy at fair market prices and sell profitably, especially these days due to the shortage of cars," says Jost Dieckhaus, VP Remarketing Europe at AUTO1 Group.

"We are excited to have found another great partner for remarketing and are sure to be able to generate significant value for both parties," says Werner König, Managing Director Remarketing at Allane SE.

"Our registered partners don’t switch between different platforms anymore. They can rely on a diverse inventory and our leading associated services from AUTO1.com. With the new partnership, our buyers now have four buying options at their disposal. The Catalogue Auction, the 24-hour Auction, the Customer Auction, and the Instant Purchase option," says Moritz Lück, SVP Sales and Operations at AUTO1 Group.

The Catalogue Auction is now initially available to all registered partner dealers in Germany. It will then also be available in over 30 markets across Europe. Interested parties can register at www.AUTO1.com and will then receive access to the Catalogue Auction.
