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.
