Worry-Free Operations
Unlock true operational freedom by taking control of your corporate fleet. Depending on the contracts of leased vans, your business might be restricted by a mileage limit, or be required to pay potentially hefty fees for signs of general wear and tear. Consequently, these risks create additional burdens that further complicate your logistical operations. Thankfully, your company can take control of these factors by meeting your commercial vehicle needs direct from Opel.
With attractive servicing support, direct access to Opel’s experts, genuine parts, and exclusive discounts, owning an Opel van empowers you to satisfy your business needs.

Savings, Savings, And More Savings!
The greatest benefit of owning your own commercial van is the significant savings compared to leasing. While leasing appears appealing due to lower upfront costs, these contracts typically involve a higher monthly payment that adds up over time. In comparison, purchasing an Opel electric van can lead to a lower monthly cost of van ownership, even with maintenance costs factored in.
Just how much can you save? Here’s a table comparing both short and long-term leasing options, against the cost of purchasing an Opel Combo-e.

|---|---|---|
| Short Term Monthly Costs† | $1,120 | $2,000 |

Riding On The Green Wave
As Singapore gradually shifts into a greener future, businesses often believe choosing electric would hurt their bottom lines. But the contrary is true, with lower charging and maintenance costs typical within Opel electric vans. Additionally, the infrastructure for electric vehicles continues to grow. There are already 3,600 charging stations island-wide, and by 2030, there would be 60,000 stations. Along with all the advantages of electric vehicles, including cheaper charging costs, lower maintenance costs, and improved reliability, the future of commercial vehicles is all but certain to be electric.
That’s not all there is to going green with Opel. As part of this green wave, the Singapore Government is currently subsidising the purchase of electric commercial vehicles by $15,000. By purchasing an e-van now, your business will not only get to maximise the operational advantages of electrification, but all of its financial supports as well.
