UniCredit and BYD partner for EV mobility in Romania

Green Forum
UniCredit Leasing, the leading financial leasing company in Romania, has announced a new strategic partnership with BYD, the world's largest manufacturer of new energy vehicles. The collaboration aims to boost access to electric and hybrid mobility solutions by offering flexible and affordable financing options to Romanian customers.

The partnership marks a significant milestone in the ongoing transition toward sustainable transport. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in Romania, supported by government incentives like the “Rabla Plus” program and increasing environmental awareness, the need for reliable and accessible financing solutions has become more pressing.

“UniCredit Leasing is proud to have been selected as BYD's official financing partner in Romania,” said Roxana Bujor, CEO of UniCredit Leasing. “This partnership enables us to offer our clients quick and convenient access to some of the most advanced electric vehicles available, along with flexible financing terms and valuable customer benefits.”

Stella Li, Executive Vice President of BYD, emphasized the importance of making electric mobility financially accessible: “Through this collaboration with UniCredit Leasing, we aim to remove the financial barriers that often stand in the way of adopting electric mobility. Our shared vision is to support a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

The agreement is expected to facilitate the sale and financing of BYD's full range of electric and hybrid vehicles in Romania, helping more individuals and businesses transition to environmentally friendly transport solutions.

With the Romanian EV market experiencing rapid growth, this partnership reflects a strategic alignment of two industry leaders committed to innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric services.
