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

Banks and their ecosystems have a major role to play in accelerating companies and industries' transition towards sustainable mobility.

The Arval Mobility Observatory, an industry expert in the recording and forecasting of mobility trends, has published the results from its latest barometer and in 2022, a record number of company decision makers were interviewed to gather feedback from 26 countries. The 2022 barometer was conducted between November, 19th 2021 and March, 11th 2022. Even though the survey once again took place in a climate of uncertainty, the growth prospects of company fleets in general as well as full service lease in particular, remain positive overall. The transition to electrification continues, alternative mobility solutions are confirming existing trends and telematics is increasingly seen as a concrete lever to improve Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and safety in companies’ fleets.

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.

Arval Consulting has published a white paper containing an overview of the current Automotive Market Shift and a range of solutions to help fleet managers, presenting four key strategies to initiate today.

The transition to sustainable mobility is a major issue for companies, particularly because they require the tools to organise and optimise these new forms of mobility. To help overcome this challenge, Arval and Ridecell have joined forces to offer their clients a tailor-made platform which provides access to various multimodal, shared and integrated mobility solutions. Their aim is to support companies in managing this change.
