INDIANAPOLIS – DaimlerChrysler Financial Services Americas has entered into the trucking industry’s full-service leasing market. Its comprehensive Sterling Trucks CompleteLease and Chrysler Financial CompleteLease initiatives are aimed at small business owners in the vocational segment.

CompleteLease offers the convenience of a single-source transportation package for busy entrepreneurs. It features sturdy, durable vehicles and includes tailored financing, like an operating lease, maintenance, repair, and other value added time-saving options such as titling, registration, compliance services, and a fuel card. CompleteLease is designed for customers whose core business focus is in areas such as the food service and beverage sector, furniture stores, fuel distribution, plumbing supply, landscaping, and contracting.

The announcement followed the product introductions here of the all-new Sterling Bullet and Dodge Sprinter Chassis Cab. CompleteLease will support these vehicles as well as the rest of the Sterling Trucks and Chrysler Group lineup.

Currently, CompleteLease is being offered by a select number of Sterling Trucks dealers and Chrysler Group BusinessLink dealers. Expanding the number of dealers during the ramp-up phase, the program will be offered by most Sterling Trucks and Chrysler Group BusinessLink dealers by 2009.
