Free2move Takes the Stage at MOVE America 2025

Benjamin Maillard, Free2move North American GM, is part of the Innovations in Automotive Retail and Mobility Access Panel

Affordability isn’t about owning less car, it’s about paying only for the car you truly use.”
— Benjamin Maillard, General Manager of Free2move North America
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Free2move, the premier provider of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions, is leading the conversation around innovative, accessible vehicle access. Benjamin Maillard, General Manager of Free2move North America, will take the stage as part of the Innovations in Automotive Retail and Mobility Access Panel at the MOVE America show in Detroit. The event gathers top-level executives and disruptors in mobility to explore emerging business models, technology, and sustainable strategies across the American mobility landscape.

Rethinking Affordability
Amid rising interest rates, inflation, and tighter credit conditions, Maillard suggests the automotive industry redefines affordability beyond just the automobile sticker price, making vehicle access the priority:
“Affordability isn’t about owning less car, it’s about paying only for the car you truly use.” Flexible access models such as subscription services, carsharing, and modular leasing enable consumers to avoid long-term debt, giving them mobility now while preserving financial flexibility for the future.

Maillard adds that mobility is a critical necessity. With uncertainty across jobs and creditworthiness, consumers need alternatives that preserve financial agility.

Supporting Dealers and OEMs
Maillard consistently highlights how dealers and OEMs can embrace new retail processes that support both affordability and profitability:
“If the customer and the car are yours, the value should be too.” By equipping dealers with rental-style tools including fleet management systems, embedded services (insurance, maintenance), and digital platforms, all seamlessly integrated within Dealer’s workflow, Free2move ensures value remains within their ecosystem, building customer relationships and unlocking recurring revenue streams.
