Siemens Motor Contracts has been appointed sole provider of business finance to SsangYong’s dealer network.

Siemens will tailor its online contract hire quotation tool for SsangYong vehicles with each dealer having access.

Thirty dealers will be provided with a business finance solution, enabling them to provide SsangYong vehicles to a wide range of business users – from sole traders to fleets of many hundreds of vehicles, said Siemens.

Ian Nicholson, operations and finance director at Koelliker UK, SsangYong’s distributor, said: "As we look to establish ourselves in the highly competitive UK market, we need to be very focused in targeting particular market segments and users with SsangYong.

"The business market is a core example and Siemens’ vast experience is ideally suited to supporting us in this endeavour."

He added: "Take their online quotation tool – it’s light years ahead of the rest of the vehicle leasing industry and will give us a significant competitive advantage."
