01 · The Ecosystem Hub

One corporate structure. Two specialized platforms. A single point of accountability.

Russmann Leasing GmbH & Co. KG doesn't sell one product — it operates the infrastructure that makes modern vehicle mobility work. Leasing contracts, fleet operations, compliance and platform technology all run through the same operational core, so partners get consistency whether they engage through direct leasing, directcar, or app2drive.

01

Corporate Core

Russmann Leasing GmbH & Co. KG holds the leasing contracts, fleet infrastructure and legal accountability behind every platform. This is the entity partners contract with.

02

Platform Layer

directcar and app2drive are the digital front-ends — purpose-built products for vehicle access, rental, and subscription, each with its own audience and interface.

03

Shared Infrastructure

Fleet acquisition, maintenance networks, insurance handling and vehicle lifecycle management are shared across the ecosystem — reducing cost and increasing reliability for every partner.

02 · Mobility Platforms

Two platforms. Two purposes. Both backed by the same operator.

Each platform is built for a distinct use case — this separation is intentional, so partners and users always know exactly what they're engaging with.

Platform · directcar

directcar

A digital vehicle access and rental platform connecting available fleet capacity with businesses and drivers who need vehicles on flexible terms — without long procurement cycles.

  • Real-time vehicle availability across the connected fleet
  • Short and mid-term rental structures for business use
  • Built for rental companies and fleet operators to plug in existing capacity
Integrate with directcar →
Platform · app2drive

app2drive

A car subscription and mobility app that turns vehicle access into a flexible, usage-based service — designed for both B2B fleets and individual subscribers.

  • Monthly, all-inclusive vehicle subscriptions
  • Digital onboarding, contract and payment management
  • Scalable subscription infrastructure for corporate mobility budgets

03 · Fleet & Leasing Solutions

Traditional leasing depth, delivered with digital-first operations.

Underneath the platforms sits a full leasing and fleet management practice — the part of the business that doesn't change, only gets faster.

01

Corporate Vehicle Leasing

Flexible leasing contracts structured around fleet size, usage cycles and budget — from single vehicles to full corporate fleets.

02

Fleet-as-a-Service

Outsource fleet operations entirely: acquisition, maintenance coordination, insurance and lifecycle management handled end-to-end.

03

Car Subscription Infrastructure

The backend that powers usage-based vehicle access — billing, contracts, and fleet allocation built for scale.

04

Platform Integration

API and operational access for rental companies and mobility providers who want to plug their fleet into directcar or app2drive.

05

Fleet Compliance & Reporting

Structured reporting and contract documentation aligned with German commercial and tax requirements.

06

Sustainability-Aligned Fleets

Usage-based models and mixed-fleet strategies that reduce idle vehicle time and support lower-emission mobility.

05 · Digital Transformation & Partnership Model

Mobility-as-a-Service isn't a feature. It's how the ecosystem is structured.

Russmann Leasing treats vehicle access as a service layer, not a static asset — combining leasing capital, operational infrastructure, and digital platforms so partners can move from ownership-heavy fleets to flexible, usage-based mobility on their own timeline.

Step 1

Assessment

We review your current fleet, procurement model and mobility needs to identify where leasing, subscription or platform integration fits best.

Step 2

Structuring

Contracts, integration scope and fleet allocation are structured around your operational and financial requirements.

Step 3

Ongoing Operation

Vehicles, contracts and platform access are managed continuously — with reporting and support as your fleet or partnership scales.

07 · Frequently Asked

Common questions from fleet, rental and mobility partners.

What is the relationship between Russmann Leasing, directcar and app2drive?

Russmann Leasing GmbH & Co. KG is the corporate operator behind both platforms. directcar and app2drive are digital products built on the same leasing and fleet infrastructure, each serving a distinct mobility use case.

Can our company integrate its existing fleet into directcar or app2drive?

Yes. Fleet operators and rental companies can integrate available vehicle capacity into either platform through a partnership agreement structured with Russmann Leasing GmbH & Co. KG.

Do you offer traditional vehicle leasing outside the platforms?

Yes. Corporate and fleet leasing is available directly, independent of platform integration, for businesses that need vehicle financing without a subscription or rental model.

What size of fleet or business do you work with?

We work with SMEs through to larger fleet operators and rental companies. Solutions are structured around fleet size and operational complexity rather than a fixed minimum.
