What Hedin Mobility Group does

Hedin Mobility Group is one of Europe's largest privately-owned mobility providers, headquartered in Mölndal, Sweden. Founded in 1985, the company operates across 13 European countries through three business areas: Distribution (vehicle import/distribution for brands including Ford, MG, BYD, INEOS Grenadier, Hongqi, XPENG, NIO, Corvette, Dodge, RAM, and IVECO), Retail (310+ owned dealerships and 800+ sales points operating under the unified Hedin Automotive brand, plus 50+ represented marques), and Mobility Solutions (Carplus private leasing, MABI car sharing, Unifleet fleet management, Hedin Connect real-time telematics, and Hedin Supercharge EV charging infrastructure with up to 1,200 kW capacity).

The company generates revenue through a diversified mix of streams: one-time vehicle sales (the primary stream), distribution/transaction fees for vehicles and spare parts (including exclusive global supply of Saab Original parts through Hedin Parts Group), recurring subscriptions and professional services for fleet management, leasing, and EV charging, plus aftermarket service and repair across 300+ workshops. Customers span private consumers (new/used vehicle purchases, financing, aftersales), corporate fleets (Unifleet, Hedin Connect, Carplus), and external retailers supplied through wholesale distribution. Proprietary technology includes the Unifleet telematics platform, Hedin Connect, Hedin Supercharge charging hardware, the Hedin IT in-house technology company, and proprietary e-commerce platforms for leasing and parts purchasing.

For FY2024, Hedin Mobility Group reported net sales of 89,630 MSEK and operational earnings of 132 MSEK, selling approximately 260,000 vehicles annually. The company is controlled by the Hedin family (Anders Hedin as CEO and President, with 71.5% held through Hedin Group; co-founder Ingemar Hedin holds 3.5%; Erik Selin Fastigheter AB holds 25%), with a workforce of 11,000–11,500 across European operations. Recent strategic activity emphasizes expansion of Chinese OEM distribution rights (XPENG, NIO/firefly, Zeekr), EV charging infrastructure rollout, and selective portfolio rationalization.
