Arval car sharing solution to be adapted for Chinese market

By / 8 years ago / News / No Comments

The Chinese authorities are planning to turn the south district of Shanghai, called Lingang, into a Green Zone, together with a restriction on combustion vehicles’ traffic.

To meet this demand, BA-SHI – which has been Arval’s partner in China since the creation of the Joint Venture Arval Jiutong in 2015 – has decided to propose the Arval France car sharing solution and adjusted it to the local requirements.

The business has already run a pilot in April 2015 and earlier this year 30 Roewe e50 Chinese EVs and 5 Roewe 550 hybrid vehicles were implemented in the district of Shanghai.

Arval added that the car sharing scheme, called U-LIN CarSharing, will first target the private lease market, before targeting the B2B sector within companies through Arval Jiutong. It will be supported by the Alipay online payment solution.
