In 2020, at the launch of its new strategic plan, Arval set itself the goal of leasing 500,000 electrified vehicles (hybrid and electric) by the end of 2025.

A more sustainable world cannot be achieved without sustainable mobility. Arval takes its responsibility to provide concrete answers to these challenges seriously: environmental protection, energy transition, management of urban congestion and accessibility in the cities of the future. 

With the last major COP taking place in Paris in 2015, the annual UN Climate Change Conference took place in Glasgow. The summit was attended by those countries that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) – a treaty that came into force in 1994. For many COP26 was the first major test of the 2015 Paris Agreement.

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.

​​​​​​​Last July, the European Union proposed a zero-emissions target for new cars by 2035, an effective ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035. The European Commission also proposed a 55% cut in CO2 emissions from cars by 2030 versus 2021 levels and a 100% cut in CO2 emissions by 2035. In parallel, several countries have already announced accelerated timelines for the sale of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) to be banned in 2030 or 2035. The continued acceleration of electrification is putting a significant pressure on OEMs to meet these targets and is spurring the development of electrification strategy for the coming years.
