Strategy

BCR Group and Arval Romania have signed an agreement for the transfer of part of the operational leasing activities of BCR Fleet Management.

Arval, a global leader in full-service vehicle leasing and sustainable mobility solutions is expanding its first international biodiversity project launched in 8 Arval countries in 2021 to all remaining countries where the company is operating, in 2022. The project in a nutshell: One tree will be planted or regenerated** for each electrified vehicle (electric and hybrid) leased by Arval. Local projects have been identified in 17 countries while the remaining 11 countries will be contributing to a global project in Peru. The objective is to promote local biodiversity and engage employees locally as well as Arval customers. By the end of 2025, Arval’s ambition is to have financed more than 700,000 trees in line with the Arval Beyond strategy.

Once again in 2021, Arval’s activity continued to outperform the market thanks to the quality of its customer-centric approach and its ambitious 2025 strategic plan, Arval Beyond.

Arval specialises in full-service vehicle leasing and new sustainable mobility solutions. Thanks to the quality of its customer-centric approach and its visionary and robust strategic plan, Arval Beyond, once again in 2021, Arval excelled compared to the rest of the market. An outstanding performance in view of the challenges associated with the pandemic, the shortage of semi-conductors and a challenging overall context in the automotive sector.

In 2020, at the launch of its new strategic plan, Arval set itself the goal of leasing 500,000 electrified vehicles (hybrid and electric) by the end of 2025.

The new Countries Energy Transition Maturity Score study co-conducted by the Element-Arval Global Alliance and Arval is potentially one of the most important pieces of international fleet research that has been undertaken for some time.

The Element-Arval Global Alliance today announced SIXT Leasing Baltics as a new member of the world-spanning fleet management network, the longest standing strategic alliance in the fleet management industry with 3 million vehicles under management, now in 53 countries.

Emil Frey France, France's leading car distribution group, and Arval, France's leading full service leasing company, have entered into a strategic partnership to create a full service leasing business for customers of the 250 dealerships of the Emil Frey France Group.

Arval’s activity continued to develop well in the first half of 2021 thanks to the quality of its services and the strength of its business model: the leased fleet grew by 6.4% compared to the end of June 2020, reaching 1,416,777 vehicles, despite the longer delivery time for new cars in connection with the current shortage of semi-conductors on the market. It confirmed Arval’s position as the European leader in full service multi-brand leasing.
