If this demarche were successful, the tickets would be offered per user and not per leasing company, the green car park in Romania would have additional chances of expansion," said Bogdan Apahidean.The full members of ASLO bring together the main operational leasing companies on the Romanian market: ALD Automotive, Arval Service Lease Romania, Autonom, Services, Autotechnica Fleet Services, BCR Fleet Management, Business Lease Romania, LeasePlan Romania, New Kopel Romania, Premium Leasing , RCI Financing Romania, Unicredit Leasing Fleet Management.
