The leasing of Passenger Cars, Industrial Vehicles, Agricultural Vehicles and SUVs registered 200,581 operations in the first eight months of 2023, 21.7% more than in the same period of the previous year, according to figures provided by the Spanish Leasing and Renting Association ( AELR).
These figures show that close to two out of every 10 vehicles (that is, 23.5%) that were registered in Spain until August of this year were through ‘renting’, a modality for which a certain amount of money is paid and which after a few years allows you to change the vehicle.
By type of propulsion, in the first eight months of 2023, 80,270 diesel vehicles were registered, which represented 40% of the total acquired in ‘renting’. Gasoline vehicles were 111,936, 55.8% of the total. The heading of electric cars, liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas jointly represented 4.1% of the total in ‘renting’, up to 8,339 vehicles. Within this group, the electric ones were the most sold (6,835) and represented 3.4% of the total.
“Automotive leasing maintains its positive inertia globally this year, supported by the use of this tool by companies and individuals,” said the president of AELRJose Coronel of Palma and Martinez-Agullo.
