Key Points

  • SG Fleet oversees 140,000 vehicles in its fleet management and leasing arm.
  • It has taken a stake in Collaborate Corp, which owns the Carly car subscription service.
  • SG Fleet's CEO will take a seat on the Collaborate board.

The $700 million fleet management group SG Fleet has taken a stake in the ASX-listed parent of car subscription company Carly to expand into a new channel becoming increasingly popular with the younger demographic.

SG Fleet oversees 140,000 vehicles in its traditional fleet and novated leasing operations. The investment marks a step outside its traditional business to tap into a fast-growing area where younger drivers in particular like the flexibility of a Netflix-style subscription service where they pay a monthly fee for the use of a car.
