From October 14 to 20, Paris will host the 90th edition of Mondial de l’Auto, one of Europe’s most prestigious automotive events. Crédit Agricole Auto Bank and its leasing and mobility company, Drivalia, will participate, reaffirming their commitment to becoming key international players in the new-mobility service sector.
CA Auto Bank and Drivalia will share a 650-square-meter stand in Hall 4 with Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility, the sole shareholder of both companies.
With its presence at the event, CA Personal Finance & Mobility reaffirms, together with its entities, its ambition to be the European leader in electric mobility while positioning itself as a player addressing new mobility needs and the challenges of energy transition.
On display will be five fully electric models from partner brands: a GAC Aion Hyptec SSR, a Tesla Model 3 Performance, a Dongfeng MHero 1, an MG Cyberster, and a Cadillac Lyriq. These vehicles represent significant business partnerships and joint ventures established in Europe and Asia by the French Group and its subsidiaries – CA Auto Bank, Drivalia, and Agilauto – also present at the stand.
The large stand will set the stage for a busy schedule of activities and meetings, including a special initiative based on artificial intelligence: Drivalia’s Green Garage.
Thanks to an advanced AI-powered system, the Green Garage allows users to create a digital version of their “dream car” by answering a series of personalized questions. After configuring their ideal car, users will receive a selection of electric vehicle rental offers from the Drivalia catalog that match the model imagined.
Drivalia’s Green Garage includes a wide range of electric vehicles, designed to meet all mobility needs: from iconic and established brands like Tesla, Mazda, Audi and Lotus to newer brands like BYD, Dongfeng and Omoda, with models ranging from agile city cars (like MG 4 full electric
and BYD Atto 3) to elegant sedans (like the Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2), SUVs (like the Tesla Model Y and the Cadillac Lyriq), to luxury models (like the Porsche Taycan, Lotus Emeya, Voyah Dream and Dongfeng MHero 1).
Designed to bring users closer to sustainable mobility in an immersive and interactive way, the Green Garage will then be available on the Drivalia website, offering an even wider audience the opportunity to live a unique experience, between desire and reality.
