€350M equity boost fuels Neot e-motion’s launch, expanding low-carbon mobility financing across Europe.
€500M total equity now enables Neot to finance nearly €2B in zero-emission transport assets.
Strategic backing from Mirova, Alba Infra Partners, and Banque des Territoires underscores investor confidence in green leasing models.
Neot Capital has launched Neot e-motion, a new pan-European leasing platform dedicated to accelerating zero-emission mobility, supported by a €350 million equity injection from Mirova, Alba Infra Partners, and Banque des Territoires.
The platform aims to offer “as-a-service” financing solutions for public and private transport operators — spanning electric buses, coaches, trucks, boats, and charging infrastructure — eliminating upfront CapEx and mitigating technology risk.
“With Neot e-motion, we are reaching a new milestone alongside trusted partners who have supported us since Neot’s inception,” said Philippe Ringenbach, CEO of Neot Capital. “With nearly €500 million in equity, we now have an unprecedented level of financial capacity to support regions and transport operators in their transition to low-carbon mobility.”
Modeled after the success of Neot Green Mobility (NGM), launched in 2017, Neot e-motion targets a broader European reach while continuing to support the French market through its new subsidiary, Neot e-motion France.

“Neot e-motion’s projects play a central role in the energy transition,” said Stéphane Grandguillaume, Chairman of Alba Infra Partners. “We are confident its business will continue to grow as the deployment of electric transport and leasing models accelerates.”
With the new investment, Neot-managed platforms now hold €500 million in equity, unlocking the potential to finance nearly €2 billion in sustainable transport infrastructure. Since its founding in 2016, Neot has raised €170 million in debt and financed over €350 million in low-carbon transport assets, particularly across France, the UK, and Scandinavia.
Neot’s backers, including Forsee Power, Mitsui & Co., and EDF (via EDF Pulse Ventures), emphasize industrial know-how in battery and e-mobility technologies — a strategic edge in a fast-evolving sector.
“By 2030, the transport sector could account for nearly half of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions,” noted Witold Marais, Investment Director at Mirova. “Neot e-motion helps remove financial barriers to investment — now more necessary than ever for decarbonization.”
The transaction is pending regulatory approval from competition authorities.
