That is Arval’s ambition with the BNP Paribas Group to support its clients in their mobility needs.

The pre-order entails 10,000 units of Lightyear 2, Lightyear’s accessible mass-market model. With that, the company has a new go-to mobility partner for corporate clients and consumers to experience solar-electric mobility in Arval’s key markets in Europe.

This news comes one week after Lightyear has opened the Lightyear 2 waitlist for consumers to get priority in the pre-order process later this year.
