HITACHI Construction Machinery (Europe) (HCME) has announced a strategic partnership with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions for the provision of dealer financing solutions.
Under the agreement, BNP Paribas will be the preferred financial solutions provider for HCME’s dealer network across multiple European countries. HCME dealers will be able to offer customers access to a range of financing options under the Zaxis Finance brand.
Finance will be available for the acquisition of all new and used excavators and wheel loaders.
The announcement follows BNP Paribas being appointed exclusive finance partner in the UK for Hitachi Construction Machinery UK last December.
“Access to equipment finance is vital to support the continued evolution of the European construction industry,” said HCME president Takaharu Ikeda. “We are delighted to partner with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions so that our dealers can continue to deliver fast, efficient and bespoke services to our customers that match their unique capital investment needs.”
Isabelle Loc, CEO at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, added, “As the European leader in asset finance, we are a trusted funding partner for some of the world’s leading manufacturers across diverse sectors, including construction. We are thrilled to have signed this agreement with the HCME team and now look forward to delivering on our capacity to drive exceptional value for HCME and its dealer network, not just in terms of financing but also the expertise and the wider sector knowhow which we have within BNP Paribas.”
