BUILDING GAME-CHANGING PARTNERSHIPS
Arval and Ridecell Sign Strategic partnership
In January 2022, we announced the signature of a new strategic partnership with Ridecell, a global fleet automation and mobility solutions provider based in San Francisco – USA. Ridecell’s fleet automation and mobility platform, coupled with our leading position in the car leasing market, will help cover any mobility needs of Arval corporate customers throughout Europe. Our shared objective is to accelerate the development of end-to-end mobility solutions.
“We are helping to meet the need for a secure, reliable, seamless digital and shared mobility solution. Ridecell’s fleet automation and mobility platform, together with Arval’s strong fleet capabilities, allow us to work together to innovate and solve the toughest mobility challenges for our customers.”
THE FLEET AND MOBILITY BAROMETER 2022
The Arval Mobility Observatory, an industry expert in the recording and forecasting of mobility trends, has published the results from its latest barometer. In 2022, a record number of company decision makers were interviewed to gather feedback from 26 countries:
1. Companies remain confident in preserving the mobility of their employees
Despite the current climate of uncertainty, fleet and mobility policy decision makers, remain optimistic about the future. 94% of all companies expect their fleet to remain stable or grow over the next three years, mainly anticipating the growth of their businesses.
2. Full-service lease to continue growing
One third of the companies consider introducing or further increasing the use of operating lease in their financing and fleet management model. The context of uncertainties is favorable to the use of this financing solution which allows companies to have stable costs during the duration of the contract. Moreover, it allows companies to offload the risk on the resale price of the vehicle, a risk that is assumed by the leasing company and no longer by the company that resorts to operational leasing. The operating lease is less expensive than the purchase (we finance the use and not the entire value of the asset).
3. Despite remaining challenges, the energy transition is clearly continuing
59% of companies have already implemented or are considering implementing at least one of the following technologies within the next three years: hybrid vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for passenger cars (PCs). 40% of companies already have at least one on fleet today.
4. Alternative mobility solutions deployed as an add-on to company car fleets
More than 6 companies out of 10 have already implemented at least one alternative mobility solution (corporate car sharing, bike leasing or a mobility budget are few of them). 79% have already implemented or intend to invest in such mobility solutions for the 3 years to come.
5. Connected services are on the rise
Used to manage fleet costs and driver safety, telematics is increasingly expected from customers around the globe. Penetration of telematics is the highest in Brazil, Peru and Chile (around 60%). It also concerns more than half of the companies in the UK and Czech Republic.
“The 2022 Fleet & Mobility barometer is clearly showing us the resilience of fleets in a continually turbulent environment, as the companies’ decision makers that were interviewed remain optimistic for the future and committed to pursue their investments in sustainable mobility.”
