BDT tries hand at leasing

Business Development Team (BDT), one of the dealers for Ford and Mazda cars in Romania, has created a leasing company that will begin operations in the autumn, according to the company”s marketing manager, Liliana Andronache. She said that the idea of setting up their own leasing company first materialised in 2003 with Carlex International. The project proved too ambitious for the size of the BDT”s business at the time. “Given the current situation of spectacular market growth, we decided to re-launch the leasing idea, but this time to do it under a name the market is familiar with, BDT Leasing,” explained Andronache. This year BTD has already sold 212 cars and 174 commercial vehicles, 85% of which were purchased in leasing. ZF
