European Electric Leasing Pioneer Secures €75M for Sustainable Mobility Push
September 3, 2025, 3:38 am
LIZY, a Brussels innovator, just secured €75 million in funding. This capital boost will propel its unique circular electric leasing model across Europe. The company specializes in making high-quality, second-hand electric vehicles accessible for small and medium-sized businesses. Their strategy directly challenges traditional "one and done" car leasing, championing sustainability and affordability. LIZY’s approach leverages the extended lifespan of electric cars, allowing multiple lease cycles. This significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with vehicle production and accelerates the transition to greener business fleets. Investors like D’Ieteren and Alychlo back LIZY’s ambitious vision. Its rapid growth in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands demonstrates strong market demand for affordable, sustainable mobility solutions. LIZY aims to lead the charge in decarbonizing corporate transportation.
A groundbreaking €75 million investment now fuels LIZY’s European expansion. This Belgian scale-up is revolutionizing vehicle leasing. It offers a fresh approach to sustainable business mobility. The funding includes €10 million in equity and €65 million in debt. It underscores strong confidence in LIZY’s circular electric leasing model.
Traditional vehicle leasing is outdated. It promotes a linear "one and done" cycle. New cars are produced for each contract. Once a lease ends, the vehicle is often sold off. A second lease cycle is rarely considered profitable. This model generates excessive waste. It also increases carbon emissions.
LIZY challenges this status quo. The company champions second-hand electric vehicle leasing. This model offers significant benefits. Electric vehicles (EVs) boast longer lifespans. They require less maintenance than combustion engine cars. This makes them ideal for multiple lease terms. An EV can serve a second, even a third, business customer.
The company's vision is clear. LIZY wants to make electric mobility accessible. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are their focus. New EVs present a major upfront investment for many businesses. Second-hand options drastically cut costs. This accelerates EV adoption across corporate fleets.
Sustainability drives LIZY’s strategy. Electric vehicle production carries a substantial carbon footprint. This footprint includes battery manufacturing. Prolonging an EV’s useful life directly offsets these initial emissions. The longer an electric car remains on the road, the greener its overall impact. LIZY's circular model minimizes environmental damage. It maximizes resource utilization. It actively reduces the ecological footprint of business transport.
LIZY's success is evident. The company, founded in 2019, quickly established itself. It built a reputation for affordable, quality service. Its headcount doubled to 60 employees. Turnover increased by over 100% by 2024. Market expansion has been rapid. LIZY operates in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. France has seen sales multiply by 3.5 times in 2025 compared to 2024 figures. An impressive 84% of LIZY’s 2025 contracts are for electric vehicles. This highlights strong market demand for sustainable options.
Key investors stand behind LIZY. D’Ieteren, Alychlo (Marc Coucke’s investment vehicle), and NewAlpha Asset Management provided the capital. Their backing validates LIZY’s innovative approach. It confirms the potential of circular electric leasing. Investors recognize the strong vision. They see the determination driving LIZY’s rapid growth. They understand the momentum of vehicle electrification.
This significant funding enables LIZY to scale its operations. It will promote its circular approach more broadly. Companies across Europe will gain access to high-quality, affordable, and sustainable mobility. LIZY is poised to lead the shift towards greener business transportation.
The future of corporate mobility is electric. It is also circular. LIZY is at the forefront of this transformation. Its model offers economic advantages. It provides environmental benefits. It empowers businesses to adopt cleaner fleets. This fosters a more sustainable European economy. LIZY is not just leasing cars. It is building a better future for business mobility.
