German car rental group Sixt said Tuesday it has agreed to buy up to 250,000 cars from automaker Stellantis in a "multi-billion euro" deal that includes electric vehicles. The purchases will extend to 2026 and concern Europe and North America, the two companies said in a joint statement. "The deliveries to Sixt will include a variety of classes from city cars to SUVs to vans and trucks, as well as a full range of propulsion types," the companies said. Electric vehicles will be included, but the statement didn't provide any specifics. In October, Sixt said it had bought "thousands" of electric cars from China's BYD Auto for its operations in Germany, France, Netherlands and the UK.
