Arval invests in targeted mobility initiatives that aim to deliver innovative, sustainable mobility solutions for its customers. In a world that is changing fast, and in an industry that is constantly transforming, Arval’s ongoing monitoring and testing initiatives ensure it remain agile and future-ready, supporting its Arval 26 & Beyond strategy for 2026. Barometer 2024: key figures: • Driven by CSR considerations, fleet electrification is in full momentum – 70% of companies have already implemented alternative car fuel technologies or are considering doing so in the coming 3 years. • The number of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) is expected to continue to grow, with remaining challenges on charging, cost and range of models – 70% mention the lack of charging points as continuing barriers, followed by cost at 35%. • Corporate mobility solutions are increasingly being adopted as a complement to company cars, sustained by growing HR related needs – 75% have implemented at least one alternative mobility solution (79% in Europe). • The connected cars paradox: a high number of cars are connected globally, yet there is limited use of telematics data – 61% of companies with equipped cars use or consider using telematics data in the coming 3 years – but only 16% companies are using it today. The Arval Mobility Observatory (AMO) is a widely recognised and trusted source of insights and foresight of corporate mobility intelligence. Within Arval and across the mobility world, the AMO creates high value by offering a transparent and comprehensive view of mobility trends. Its role is key in helping businesses, and any fleet and mobility stakeholder, make informed decisions that drive innovation and sustainability in the mobility sector. Its valuable educational resources support any individual having an interest in new and upcoming fleet and mobility subjects. The Observatory achieves this by conducting extensive research, providing valuable data, and producing comprehensive reports, articles, whitepapers, including the unique annual study, the “Fleet and Mobility Barometer”. For the 2024 edition, more than 8.600 corporates fleet and mobility decision makers from 30 countries were interviewed to gather feedback. Arval Mobility Observatory Arval invests in cutting-edge initiatives to support the energy transition and foster innovation in mobility. These include: • Maniv: A venture capital fund dedicated to transport and mobility technologies, enabling Arval to anticipate developments in the sector. • Shift4Good: An independent venture capital fund dedicated to decarbonising the transport industry. Arval invests alongside BNP Paribas Personal Finance. • Arval Energy A strategic initiative launched in 2024 to develop synergies between the energy and mobility sectors. It aims to promote smart charging solutions for BEVs, harness the potential of energy storage and foster energy self-sufficiency by incorporating renewable energy. Strategic investments (1) https://www.fastnedcharging.com/hq/fr/fastned-et-arval-lancent-une-nouvelle-offre-de-recharge Smart charging With V1G technology, vehicles charge when electricity is at its cheapest and comes from renewable sources, such as solar and wind. In addition, V1G helps balance of the electricity grid and creates value on the electricity distribution chain. Battery as energy reserve source Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, allows an electric vehicle’s battery to store sun or wind-powered energy and share it back to the power grid. Combined with solar panels and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology, it allows users to “produce” their own electricity, store it in the vehicle and use it for household purposes. Arval invests in cutting-edge initiatives to support the energy transition and foster innovation in mobility. Charging everywhere • Arval Charging Services: A bundled offer including a leased vehicle with its charging station at home or in the office, launched in January 2024. • Partnerships with: • Charging Point Operators & Mobility Service Providers, giving access to 600,000 charging points in 22 European countries. • Last Mile Solutions, helping Arval fleet customers get direct access to more than 600,000 charging points across Europe via a single platform. • FastNed1 simplifying the access to their 1,700 high quality charging points for Arval customers and drivers. These charging points are exclusively powered by renewable energy sources in 7 European countries. Arval Energy «The 2024 Fleet and Mobility Barometer highlights the resilience of fleets across all 30 countries surveyed, regardless of company size, in a challenging environment. At the same time, HR and CSR considerations are becoming increasingly important, expanding fleet and mobility options to more employees. Talent retention and sustainable mobility are now key priorities for businesses. In this context, trends such as electrification, the use of data from connected vehicles, and the adaptation of mobility policies will shape the future of corporate mobility.» Oana DumaHead of Arval Mobility Observatory Sustainability in key trends of future mobility Arval actively participates with organisations and initiatives that are committed to the sustainable transformation of the mobility sector. Think tanks and platforms • Movin’On Connect: A digital platform that facilitates management of business and personal travel, with flexible and sustainable solutions. • The Hive: A coworking and innovation space dedicated to start-ups developing connected and sustainable mobility solutions.Partnerships with professional organisations and associations: • LeaseEurope (European trade association). • smartEn (Smart Energy Europe): an association promoting the integration of sustainable energy solutions in Europe. • EVVE (Environmental Valorisation of Virtual Energy): An EDF initiative supported by the European Union Innovation Fund, that targets to deploy 800 V2G charging stations in Europe.
