Lotte Auto Lease, a financial company specializing in commercial vehicles under Lotte Rental, has partnered with eco-friendly energy leader E1 to offer LPG refueling partnership services for customers who lease 1-ton LPG trucks.
With the revised Air Management Zone Act taking effect this year, the diesel models of Hyundai Porter and Kia Bongo were discontinued at the end of last year, and new LPG models have been launched. In response, Lotte Auto Lease decided to collaborate with E1, a specialist in LPG, to support the economical vehicle operations of customers who are turning to LPG trucks as an alternative to diesel.
Lotte Auto Lease will provide a dedicated membership card that accrues 30 points for every 1,000 KRW spent at E1 charging stations for all customers who lease the Porter3 and Bongo3 1-ton LPG models. This is ten times the benefit compared to general membership customers who earn 3 points per 1,000 KRW. Accumulated points can be used like cash at all E1 charging stations, the Orange Point Mall, and partner merchants (such as convenience stores, cinemas, and supermarkets).
The exclusive membership card from Lotte Auto Lease is issued at the time of delivery for LPG vehicles and can be utilized after registration at E1’s Orange Card customer service center, website, or mobile app. Additionally, Lotte Auto Lease plans to provide customized benefits reflecting the needs of B2B customers and expand partnership benefits to more LPG vehicle models.
Lotte Auto Lease is systematically establishing a sales line for leasing trucks under 1 ton, including specialized vehicles. As the target audience consists of consumers with specific usage purposes, customers can choose from various customizations such as enclosed cargo beds, refrigerated and freezing trucks, to power gates. Not only can they trust the quality by partnering with recognized special vehicle manufacturers, but they can also use custom trucks at reasonable prices.
Moreover, for leasing trucks, the maintenance service option includes on-site maintenance, regular vehicle inspections, tire replacements, and more, making vehicle management convenient and economically feasible due to VAT refunds. More detailed information can be found on the Lotte Auto Lease website.
A representative from Lotte Auto Lease stated, “With this partnership, our customers can use trucks with lower monthly payments compared to financing and also enjoy maintenance cost savings through E1 point accumulation. We plan to continuously expand our partnerships and enhance customer satisfaction and collaboration as a professional financial company for commercial vehicles,” they said.
