Strategy

Arval and Element Fleet Management, through their Element-Arval Global Alliance, today announced that SIXT Mega Rent has become a new member of the world-spanning fleet management network, the longest standing strategic alliance in the fleet management and leasing industry for the benefit of clients with global needs. To date, partners of the Alliance manage more than 4 million vehicles under management and now operate in 55 countries across five continents.

Despite challenging environment and auto sector, Arval continued to grow in 2022, maintaining the positive momentum of previous years.

In 2022, Arval’s performance significantly outgrew the market despite a challenging environment and automotive sector.

Lightyear – the Dutch high-tech company producing the world’s first solar-powered electric car, Lightyear 0, – has signed a pre-order agreement with Arval, Europe’s #1 full service multibrand vehicle leasing company, and key player in sustainable mobility solutions owned by the BNP Paribas Group. 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. The grand total of Lightyear 2 pre-orders from B2B partners now exceeds 21,000 units, corresponding to a revenue of nearly €840 million. 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.

Arval, part of BNP Paribas Group, announces the completion of the acquisition of Terberg Business Lease Group B.V. (TBLG) in the Netherlands and Belgium by its Dutch subsidiary Arval B.V. (Arval), which was announced earlier this year. Arval acquires 100% of the shares from its shareholders Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group.

Arval’s activity continued to develop well in the first half of 2022 thanks to the quality of its services and the strength of its business model: the leased fleet grew by 5.9% compared to the end of June 2021reaching 1,500,536 vehicles despite longer delivery time for new cars in connection with the shortage of semi-conductors and a challenging overall context in the automotive sector.

Arval announces today that its Dutch subsidiary Arval B.V. has signed an agreement for the acquisition of Terberg Business Lease Group B.V. (TBLG) from its shareholders Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group.
