Since 2020, the Arval Beyond strategic plan has included a roadmap for a reduction in tailpipe emissions based on theoretical emissions (WLTP), initially by 2025 and then extended to 2026. The main lever is electrification, and thanks to its customers, Arval counted 253,373 electric vehicles (BEVs) in its leased fleet in 2024, a +52% increase compared to 2023. This momentum was reflected in the orders of new vehices, counting 22.6% of BEV in 2024. Among all new vehicles delivered by Arval in Europe in 2024, 21.2% were BEVs, well above the 14% market rate (source: ACEA, Passenger Car and Van). Considering new passenger car registrations in Europe only, Arval 2024 production reached an intensity of 92 gCO 2 /km in its main European markets 1 , achieving already emission well below European market standing at 108 gCO 2 /km in the same period. Despite the good momentum of electrification of passenger vehicles, the light commercial vehicle market, which represents nearly 17% of Arval’s fleet, is experiencing more moderate growth in electric powertrains. The market trend towards heavier vehicles, in all categories and engines, remains a factor slowing the reduction in emissions.

In parallel to the revision of the 2026 objective regarding the reduction of its fleet’s tailpipe emissions, Arval widened its approach towards a medium-term target related to the use of vehicles. Arval calculates well-to-wheel emissions during the leasing period and after resale, in intensity per kilometre, using the SBTi initiative methodology. Arval’s decarbonisation trajectory aims for a reduction of -35% in real emissions in gCO2 intensity per kilometre travelled, i.e. 144 gCO2/km in 2030 compared to 221 gCO2/km in January 2020.

Arval STAR showcase • The STAR methodology enabled Arval to clarify the client’s needs, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of their requirements and objectives. Building on this basis, Arval modelled an electrification roadmap for the customer’s fleet across the European market for the next 5 years, using to a tool developed by Arval Consulting. This approach considered both the maturity and the specific characteristics of the EV ecosystem in each country. • Result: The customer was able to assess the overall feasibility of the electrification initiative and identify potential changes in management actions to be implemented at a global level. The STAR methodology provided valuable insights, supporting informed decision-making and facilitating a smooth transition towards fleet electrification. The CO2 emissions dropped by 10% versus year-1. In January 2024, Arval France and EDF Group launched a new home charging solution: Arval Charging@Home. This new electric home charging service aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles by Arval France customers’ employees, by providing them a hassle-free charging experience: installation and maintenance of the charging station, roadside assistance, and possible removal of the charging station and its recycling. This solution is the first deployment case of the Arval Charging Services offer that was launched in 2024. This offer bundles the leasing of the electric vehicle with the recharging socket for the home or the office. Arval Charging Services fully associates itself with existing Arval public recharging offers, allowing customers to access recharging wherever they need it. Arval launches Charging@Home with EDF Arval offers a wide range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and supports electrification with: 1. A charging offer that includes electricity charging cards, automatic reimbursements for home charging, and mobile applications to locate charging points, making the electric transition more accessible. 2. Educational campaigns that promote the benefits of electric vehicles. 3. Flexible leasing options, such as 3–6-month electric vehicle trials or temporary access to a combustion vehicle for long journeys, promote a gradual and sustainable adoption of electric vehicles. 4. Creating confidence on the second-hand market of electric vehicle market through battery health certificates issued at resale. Moreover, Arval introduces complementary strategies for managing the weight of vehicles and extending their ownership period. These strategies reduce Arval’s carbon footprint related to the manufacture and use of vehicles, maximising the amortisation of environmental impacts, particularly for electric vehicles. Optimising fleet composition by integrating less emissive vehicles and extending their ownership period 1. Arval Connect telematics solution:• Facilitates the identification of opportunities for the transition to electric vehicles. • Provides personalised recommendations to help reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions via real-time monitoring of driving data (consumption, braking, acceleration). • Supports proper use of plug-in hybrid vehicles through telematic indicators, allowing fleet managers to manage charging levels. 2. Arval offers eco-driving training and coaching, which brings a potential reduction of up to 20% in fuel consumption1. (1) Average improvement between the lowest and highest possible scores, according to an internal study on the actual consumption of a sample of 18,600 vehicles. Sustainable use of vehicles solutions to optimise energy consumption. 1. Car sharing among multiple users optimises vehicle use, while reducing the number of vehicles in the fleet and the associated costs by up to 20%. 2. Active mobility: For short distances or urban journeys, solutions such as electric or mechanical bike leasing reduce dependence on motor vehicles. 3. Arval Mobility Pass: This payment card allows employees to use the mobility budget allocated by their employer for their daily journeys. They have access to a wide range of sustainable transport modes that help reduce their carbon footprint. This solution is already deployed in France, Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil. Develop relevant alternative forms of mobility to replace individual vehicle journeys Advice & consulting: Corporates face significant challenges in adopting BEVs, such as their higher purchase cost compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, the lack of reliable and widespread charging infrastructure, the difficulty in maintaining the value of BEVs over time in the used car market, and the lack of a stable regulatory environment. Through the Arval STAR (Strategic Transformation through Actionable Recommendations) methodology, the Arval consulting team helps companies meet their environmental targets by adopting electrified vehicles and alternative mobility solutions, guiding them through complexities on their journey towards the future of mobility and fleet management. Furthermore, the Arval consulting team conducts research and analysis to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities in the mobility market. They collaborate with various departments to develop strategic methodologies that help clients manage their fleets and achieve their objectives.
