Arval STAR (Strategic Transformation through Actionable Recommendations)
It is more than an approach — it is a promise to guide our clients toward measurable success by cutting through complexity, simplifying decision-making and providing a clear path to success, bringing the best out of Arval’s ecosystem and decades of expertise in the sector, coupled with a forward-thinking vision for mobility.
Building on a Legacy of Arval Consulting Excellence
In 2018, Arval introduced the SMaRT approach to meet the need for sustainable fleet solutions, helping businesses transition to a more sustainable mobility. Since 2020, over 7,000 SMaRT consulting days have supported 500+ clients in their energy transitions. As the mobility landscape evolves, with rising costs, regulatory changes, and new technologies, electrification is just one piece of the puzzle. Arval STAR is now taking stage, not as replacement but as an improvement, an upgrade of what SMaRT is standing for, with an even more extensive portfolio of missions to cover and consolidate objectives.
The vision behind Arval STAR
At its heart, Arval STAR is about transformation — helping businesses move beyond reactive problem-solving to proactive, future-focused decision-making.
The scope of Arval STAR extends to fleet electrification, energy transition, ESG reporting, cost management, data analysis, and so much more. Our approach is guided by three core principles: expertise, versatility, and client-centricity. Arval STAR combines use of analytics, expert insights, and collaborative strategies to create tailored solutions that deliver real, actionable and measurable impact.
