Arval 26&Beyond
For more than 30 years, and thanks to the support of BNP Paribas Group, Arval has successfully focused its expertise on full-service leasing. It is now firmly positioned as a market leader, with a global leased fleet of 1.8 M vehicles, and an organic growth of +5.6% in 2024, compared to 2023.
In 2020, Arval introduced Arval Beyond, an ambitious transformation plan aimed at positioning the company not just as a leasing provider but as a key player in sustainable mobility. Following the success of this initiative, Arval has extended it into"Arval 26 & Beyond", a roadmap for 2025-2026 that builds up, expands and refines the strategic direction set by Arval Beyond. This new phase maintains the proven framework of Arval Beyond while introducing renewed priorities and ambitious objectives.
Origins of Arval Beyond

Alain Van Groenendael
Arval Chairman & CEO
“In 2020, Arval launched Arval Beyond, an ambitious and forward-thinking transformation plan designed to position us not only as a leasing company, but as a key actor in sustainable mobility. This was not just a response to market trends but a proactive step to redefine our business model to meet future demands. Most of our objectives have been met, and those that remain are well on their way to being realised. This is why we are launching Arval 26 & Beyond. Its name and pictogram were chosen in reference, of course, to Arval Beyond, while expressing the idea that the dream we had in 2020 turned to reality, and that our ambition looks further than what Arval will become in 2026. This continuation builds on the proven framework of Arval Beyond, with renewed priorities and ambitious goals. It is not a revolution, but an evolution. This plan reflects our ambition to stay ahead of the market while laying a strong foundation for our 2027-2030’s future strategy."
