Premiere at the IAA Transportation 2024: Sortimo and SIXT offer new flexibility for trade and commercial vehicle fleets

Sortimo, leading manufacturer of van racking systems and mobile transport solutions, is presenting a new cooperation with the renowned mobility provider SIXT at the IAA Transportation in Hanover. Together, the companies have developed a rental service that makes it possible to rent light commercial vehicles with Sortimo's innovative racking systems quickly, flexibly and in line with demand.

Customers can choose between standard and customized racking units, with the equipped commercial vehicle available just a few days after booking. Another advantage of this new offer is its high flexibility: While the minimum rental period for commercial vehicles with racking systems used to be 12 months, customers can now rent these vehicles starting from one month, up to a maximum of 36 months. This new service is suitable for businesses across all industries that need to quickly and efficiently expand or supplement their service, delivery or installation fleet with equipped commercial vehicles, or those seeking to maintain a fleet that remains flexible, easy to manage, and off their balance sheet.

Reinhold Braun, CEO of Sortimo: "Sortimo has always impressed with mobile transport solutions that are precisely tailored to the needs of our customers. This is how we convince the market and how we convince strong partners such as SIXT, with whom we now offer our customers the opportunity to expand their fleets flexibly and cost-effectively. Thanks to our customisable in-vehicle equipment, companies can optimally equip their vehicles for specific tasks, which significantly increases their operational efficiency. With this cooperation, we are creating significant added value for our joint customers"

Dr. Peter Beermann, Executive Vice President SIXT van & truck: “With this new offering, available only at SIXT van & truck, we make our customers' daily work significantly easier by equipping our commercial vehicles with high-quality racking systems from Sortimo, tailored precisely to each customer’s specific use case. Additionally, by providing rapid vehicle availability and flexible rental terms, we help businesses manage their fleet flexibly, reduce downtime, and significantly increase cost efficiency. We are excited to elevate our partnership with Sortimo through this offering and to strategically expand our product portfolio for our customers.”
