As sustainable mobility gains traction across Europe, Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS) is making bicycles a core part of its offerings for employees. Bicycle leasing, now an integral part of VWFS’s mobility portfolio, is not just for customers but also for employees. Through the Lease a Bike | Germany brand, employees from many companies within the Volkswagen Group have access to this forward-thinking benefit.

The results have been remarkable. Since AUDI AG piloted the program just a year ago, around 20,000 bicycle leasing contracts have been signed by Volkswagen Group employees.

“The success of this program speaks volumes. It’s clear that bicycles, including e-bikes, are becoming a key part of how our employees and customers approach mobility, especially the work commute.” - Volkswagen Financial Services Representative

VWFS promotes sustainable commutes through employee bike leasing

To further cement its commitment to cycling, Volkswagen Financial Services joined Bike Mobility Services Group (Pon.Bike) last year. This Dutch Pon Group subsidiary offers bike leasing under the Lease a Bike brand across multiple European countries, enhancing access to sustainable commuting options and healthy lifestyles for Volkswagen Financial Services employees.

Bike Days events to promote bike commuting and bike leasing

Recently, VWFS hosted its popular Bike Days event on its main campus, welcoming employees to explore the latest leasing options and test-ride premium bicycles. The event featured a variety of bike models brought in by Kalkhoff Bikes and local Braunschweig bicycle dealers, including e-bikes - Die e-Bike Experten, E-BIKE KASTEN, and Velo-Hub.

“Events like Bike Days really bring our sustainable mobility vision to life. Not only can employees learn about leasing options, but they can also experience the bikes firsthand, which inspires confidence and excitement.” - Volkswagen Financial Services

As enthusiasm builds and more people embrace cycling for work and leisure, VWFS continues to lead the charge in transforming mobility with innovative and sustainable solutions.
