While business interest in electric cars has increased exponentially in the last year or so, progress in the electric van market has been much slower. However, there are signs that this situation is beginning to change – a trend that Arval is hoping to encourage with the release of an authoritative new report.

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.

Arval, a global leader in full-service vehicle leasing and sustainable mobility solutions, is launching its first international biodiversity project. One tree will be planted or regenerated for each electrified vehicle leased by Arval in the same country where the vehicle is delivered. The objective is to promote local biodiversity and engage local employees and Arval customers. By the end of 2025, Arval’s ambition is to have funded more than 500,000 trees.

Arval and Athlon today announce that Arval’s Swiss subsidiary will purchase the entire full service leasing fleet of Athlon Switzerland AG.

Arval, European leader in full service vehicle leasing and new sustainable mobility solutions, anticipates changes in its sector, society and the market as best it can. With this in mind and in line with the strategic ambitions of its Arval Beyond plan, Arval announces the appointment of Gerry Wagner as its new Director of Institutional Relations at international level.

Despite the health crisis and thanks to the quality of its services, its ability to react quickly and seize new opportunities, the resilience of its business and the solidity of the BNP Paribas Group, Arval Group’s leased fleet grew by 6.4% compared to the end of 2019, reaching 1,381,555 vehicles (+7.3% on an average basis in 2020).

Rueil-Malmaison, 2 March 2021 – Arval and ClimateSeed are joining forces in a worldwide environmental partnership. With this partnership, Arval will complete its offer to accompany its customers along the entire zero-carbon trajectory and will offer climate contributions through carbon reduction projects to those who are already engaged in a decarbonisation process at a company or fleet level.
