🚌Keep on Rollin’ – In Chile Societe Generale completed yet another deal to keep Chile’s transition to electric buses full speed ahead. Societe Generale just signed a ~210 M USD financing for 935 battery-fuelled electric buses to serve Santiago’s public transportation system. The financing is on behalf of VGMobility, a leader in the provision of e-mobility solutions in Latin America. Societe Generale and VGMobility jointly worked on financing solutions that were instrumental in the success of the VGMobility bid for the 2024 tender in Chile. That led to Societe Generale acting as Mandated Lead Arranger, Exclusive Structuring Agent, Green Loan Coordinator and Hedge Provider on this financing. This landmark transaction is among the biggest bus transactions seen in the market in recent years and is Societe Generale’s 4th battery electric bus financing in Latin America. Societe Generale was able to secure this mandate through a combination of the bank’s experience in public transportation financing in Latin America and deep understanding of the local market and its contractual structures. Working alongside an expert sponsor like VGMobility facilitated building a deep understanding of the deal, joint construction of appropriate financing conditions and developing competitive solutions.
