Record-breaking performance for MoDel as fleet sales grow

A record-breaking performance for the second successive year has been reported by MoDel, the B2B vehicle handover solution from Ebbon Automotive, part of Ebbon Group.

Widely used across the fleet industry to electronically process vehicle deliveries and collections, MoDel achieved 17% year-on-year growth, recording 1.24 million vehicle handovers throughout 2024. 

The overwhelming majority of MoDel users operate within the UK fleet market – leasing companies and brokers plus vehicles manufacturers and the fastest-growing sector, vehicle logistics companies, which grew by 38 new companies last year to over 90 in total now.   

The platform also saw significant growth in Europe, predominantly in France and the Netherlands, on the back of existing customer relationships with major leasing companies and vehicle manufacturers.   

Ebbon Group developers have introduced modifications to the system so that it can accommodate European business practices and gear up for further European expansion. 

“MoDel is predominantly fleet focused and the record levels of fleet sales in 2024, with 60% of new car registrations going to fleets, certainly contributed to this outstanding performance,” said Michael Terry, Ebbon Automotive’s head of commercial, logistics. 

He explained that new releases during the year had also played a part with new functionality introduced on a regular basis, often at the behest of the MoDel user group. 

He added: “There are a number of new and exciting releases already in the pipeline for 2025 that will continue our commitment to MoDel’s development. 

“For example, we are planning changes to our ‘form console’ feature which will look at enhancing the level of data collected at the vehicle handover and making it more bespoke. This will provide customers with more detailed information to match their exact requirements. 

“We are also looking at a multi-car transport module to assist vehicle manufacturers in capturing deliveries to their dealer networks.”
