“OEM partnerships like this are a powerful signal that subscription is no longer on the fringe of the industry. GWM’s growth trajectory in Australia speaks for itself, and we’re excited to bring more of their vehicles into our offering through a model that gives customers flexibility, cost certainty and immediate access.”
