Despite the economical climate, ARVAL Romania showed in 2010 a raise of 10% of its market share, consolidating the 3rd position on the Romanian market of auto full service operational leasing.

With access to the resources and the experience of a strong group, Arval Romania proved in 2010 that the financial crisis could become an opportunity. As a consequence, the measurable results, quantified in the enlarged fleet, also meant creativity, expertise and the quality of service – the three pillars that define Arval business.

ARVAL Romania, one of the most known entities on the Romanian market of operational auto leasing with full services included, is launching Drive4Life training program, created with the aim to reduce the rate of accidents, costs and time and, above all, to help acknowledge the impact that defensive driving has on the environment.

The many concerning statistics about the number of people injured or deceased in accidents are the reason for which ARVAL group has put together a training program for drivers. The objective: to teach them how to drive under maximum security and pay respect to the nature.

Drive4Life is a program designed for ARVAL clients that wants to inform drivers on the safety regulations in traffic and to convince them to apply the information learned, understanding the serious consequences that not applying the rules can have.

Arval Romania, part of BNP Paribas Group and one of the leading companies on the Romanian and European full-service operational leasing market, registered a 45% increase for the Sale&Lease-Back product demand within this year’s first three months, in comparison to the same period of 2009. The product implies buying the vehicles of the company by Arval Romania, and the same fleet is given in use to the same companies through full-service operational leasing, paying a fixed monthly installment. Thus, the companies obtain an increase of liquidities to develop core-business activities.
