The Berlin-headquartered captive has joined forces with Abu
Dhabi’s Al Fahim Group and Dubai-headquartered Garish Enterprises,
to offer loans and leasing to local private and business customers
for both cars and commercial vehicles.

importance.”
“It makes us the first automaker to have its own finance and
leasing company in the United Arab Emirates.”
The company’s medium-term goal in the country is to reach a
contract volume of at least €300 million in three to five
years.
