The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will invest €9 million in a €30 million sustainability-linked bond issued by Autonom, a Romanian car leasing and rental company.
Autonom, an integrated provider of mobility and financing services, has launched a solution dedicated to electric cars to address concerns associated with the adoption of electric vehicles, such as long-distance car autonomy, charging, maintenance costs, technological advancement, and resale value risk. Number three in the market of operational leasing and car rental companies ordered at the beginning of the year, with the help of an EIB loan of €32 million, 200 Tesla electric cars (Model 3 and Model Y).
Autonom orders 200 electric cars worth €10 million and is speeding up the fleet electrification process. Last fall, Autonom received €15 million in financing from the European Investment Bank for the expansion of the fleet of electric and hybrid cars.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is providing €35 million to GreenWay as part of a €113 million financing package to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Central Europe.
