Heycar has a new investor. Allianz X, the investment arm of the DAX group, is joining the used car dealer. Nothing is said about the amount of the investment. Existing investors are Volkswagen, Volkswagen Financial Services and Daimler. The new investor cites expansion as its goal.
"We see various opportunities to realize joint business potential with fully embedded product solutions," says Tomas Kunzmann, CEO Mobility & Assistance at Allianz Partners. "As more and more sales move online, customers need a partner they can trust to deliver high quality. This is exactly what they will get with heycar and Allianz," explains Nazim Cetin, CEO of Allianz X.
Allianz will also exclusively insure heycar for five years. Heycar was founded in Berlin in 2017 and has already sold over 300,000 cars. In addition to Germany, the start-up is also active in Spain and the UK.
