00:00And we're back on set, of course, here on Breaking Tech
00:03with our next guest, Agnès Vandeval.
00:07You are our Arval Connect Director.
00:09We're going to dive into it in a few seconds.
00:11But first, just let me remind you what Arval is all about.
00:15You are a connected fleet management solution
00:19provided by Arval, of course.
00:21And you're a special aide in vehicle leasing
00:24and mobility solutions.
00:25So, you definitely know all about the future of mobility,
00:29of course, you've been working on research and development
00:32on it over the past decade.
00:36Where are we today?
00:37Because, I mean, the sector is at this shifting
00:40and changing massively, to be honest.
00:42Yeah, indeed.
00:44The mobility sector has been evolving very fast.
00:47We see new needs coming from companies,
00:50but also from individuals.
00:52In particular, now mobility solutions have to be inclusive,
00:57available for all employees,
00:59have to be more flexible.
01:00You can book a car when you need
01:02and also have to be more greener and sustainable.
01:07So, connectivity is playing, of course,
01:10a key role in answering these needs.
01:13Just to give you an example,
01:15now through connectivity,
01:17it supports shared mobility
01:20with an easy access to the vehicle
01:22through your smartphone.
01:24So, it has to be, you know, really seamless, I guess,
01:28even though when you're working
01:29in the professional, you know, world and sector, of course.
01:33Can you describe Arval Connect in a few words
01:35better than I did a few seconds ago?
01:37So, Arval Connect is a connected fleet management solution
01:41developed by Arval.
01:44Arval has invested very early in telematics,
01:4710 years ago.
01:48We have a dedicated team.
01:51Currently, our connected fleet
01:52is around 500,000 vehicles
01:55and we have approximately 15,000 customers
02:00that have already deployed the solution.
02:03Alors, why does Arval Connect provide
02:05quite a lot of benefits to customers?
02:08It's really a game changer
02:10to manage efficiently your fleet.
02:12I'm quite curious to learn more
02:15about the feedback, actually, from your customers.
02:19What are they telling you
02:20when it comes to Arval Connect specifically?
02:22Because you guys have been working
02:24about for 10 years with this expertise.
02:28Yeah.
02:29Alors, what we can see and feedback from the customer
02:32is that they really need solution
02:33focused not on technology.
02:35It's the backside of the solution
02:38but focused on providing very tangible benefits.
02:41What we can see from customers,
02:43it's now becoming for them an evidence
02:45because with connectivity,
02:47you get a lot of levers
02:49to optimize your fleet cost
02:51in an inflationary context.
02:53It's very interesting for them.
02:55You can save up to 16% in fuel consumption.
02:59That's quite significant.
03:01And also, you can optimize
03:02your fleet utilization rate.
03:05The other feedback we get from customers
03:07is that it also matches their expectations
03:10in terms of CSR goals.
03:12It really helps a lot
03:14to accelerate on energy transition.
03:16One complementary feedback I have
03:19is that one of their challenge
03:21is that they need to get
03:23an internal adoption of the solution
03:26and to secure driver's buy-in.
03:28So the solution, like Arval Connect,
03:31is strongly focused on providing
03:33and reinforcing a lot of features
03:36around data privacy
03:37to facilitate the deployment
03:40and the internal buy-in.
03:41And speaking of energy transition,
03:44how do you exactly support,
03:47how are you making yourself
03:49part of the solution
03:50more than all the problem?
03:51Of course, because we're still talking
03:52about the vehicle industry
03:54and mobility,
03:54which definitely has to face
03:56these major challenges.
03:58Yeah.
03:59So just to give you
04:00a very concrete example,
04:02with connectivity,
04:03you have a real-time monitoring
04:06of the usage of your fleet.
04:07So you get information
04:09like daily mileage,
04:11maximum daily mileage,
04:13the number of trips per day,
04:15the stop duration,
04:16and so on and so on.
04:16And with that information,
04:18the customer can identify
04:20very easily in his fleet
04:22what vehicles he can switch to EV
04:24and what is a needed
04:25charging infrastructure.
04:27You have a lot of other features,
04:29like you can manage
04:31proactively maintenance,
04:32so it helps extend
04:33the life of the vehicles.
04:35you can optimize the usage rate
04:37of your fleet,
04:38so you need less vehicles
04:39on the road.
04:40You get personalized
04:42driving behavior information,
04:45so it helps reduce fuel consumption
04:47and more generally CO2 emissions.
04:50So quite a lot of features
04:52that helps companies
04:53to accelerate on energy transition
04:55and to reach their CSR goal.
04:58And if those companies
04:59are willing to connect their fleet,
05:02what do they have to do?
05:04Just contact us.
05:05Of course.
05:06That's a great answer,
05:07by the way.
05:08No, but just, no,
05:10it's, now it's becoming easier
05:12and easier
05:12because the cars
05:13are becoming connected,
05:15so you just need a solution
05:17to get data
05:19fully integrated
05:20in the platform
05:21and in the fleet services
05:24provided by your supplier,
05:26by your partner.
05:27So a solution like Arvel Connect
05:29is fully integrated.
05:30we take care of everything
05:32for our customer
05:33from getting the data
05:35to providing the information
05:37and the insight
05:39and analyzing the data
05:42and helping them,
05:43also very important,
05:44to implement internally the solution
05:47and to get the adoption
05:50and the buy-in internally
05:51from their drivers.
05:53Making the solution easier.
05:54Thank you so, so much,
05:56Agnes Wendeveld for Arvel.
