LeasePlan Corporation N.V. announced that it will expand its North American service offering to include Canada in January 2014.  LeasePlan and the Canadian fleet management company Foss National Leasing Ltd. (FNL) have entered into a licensing agreement whereby FNL will operate its newly-formed subsidiary LeasePlan Canada.

With this agreement and formation of the new company, LeasePlan’s North American reach now consists of LeasePlan USA, LeasePlan Mexico and, in 2014, LeasePlan Canada.

LeasePlan currently manages over 1.3 million vehicles and provides fleet management services in 31 countries. The ability to have a comprehensive North American solution in place solidifies LeasePlan’s position as the global leader for fleet management and driver mobility.

Karen Foss, Chief Executive Officer of Foss National Leasing: “LeasePlan has a proven track record of expanding into new markets and growing to market-leading positions. LeasePlan Canada will provide innovative products, value for money and superior service to meet the needs of multinational clients, especially those with a presence across North America.”

Jeff Hartley will be President of LeasePlan Canada.

LeasePlan is a global fleet management and driver mobility company of Dutch origin.
