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

In conjunction with the publication of BNP Paribas Group’s 2022 first quarter results, Arval announces strong and continued organic growth of its funded fleet (+6.5% vs 31 March 2021), reaching 1,483,317 vehicles. For that same period, 32.7% of Arval new vehicle orders were electrified vehicles (vs 27.2% on 31 March 2021), showing a clear increase in energy transition.

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.

Today, the shortage of semiconductors and inflationary pressures are having a direct impact on companies. At the same time, CSR is becoming increasingly important with companies being more and more aware of their responsibility to accelerate energy transition. More than ever, controlling costs and acting positively on environmental issues are key priorities. To support its customers, Arval has revamped Arval Active Link, its existing connected services offer, and is now launching Arval Connect.

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 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.

Arval, global leader in full service leasing confirms its breakthrough in flexible mobility with its Arval Mid Term Rental product. Based on this success, Arval is going further and has launched Arval Adaptiv. This innovative offer for private customers provides access to a car only when needed and within in a few days.

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.
