Nexios IT leases 28 Mercedes EQA's (EVs) from Arval Belgium via BNP Paribas Fortis

Switching from thermal to electric vehicles is an important step for any company. And one of Arval's priorities is to help and advise clients during this transition. Nexios IT - a company from Vilvoorde - concluded a lease contract for 28 Mercedes EQAs with Arval Belgium. At the end 2021, the electric cars were delivered to Nexios IT.

To thank all parties involved, Bart Rutten, CEO of Nexios IT, wanted to make the handover of the 28 beautiful Mercedes EQAs to his employees a strong and pleasant moment.

Julie Vandenbroeck, Business Manager, Arval Belgium: ‘This case is an excellent example of a beautiful cooperation between Arval Belgium and BNP Paribas Fortis. Nexios IT has been a loyal customer of BNP Paribas Fortis for many years. CEO Bart Rutten has known Arval for a long time and appreciates our approach. His involvement and that of his employees obviously made things easier. And since Mercedes has been Nexios IT's 'house brand' for 15 years, choosing the all-electric EQA model was a no-brainer. Moreover, this also fits perfectly within Arval Beyond and our revised EV strategy. By 2025, we aim to have leased 700,000 electrified vehicles across all Arval countries.’

Bart Rutten, CEO Nexios IT, adds: 'Sustainability is the guiding principle at Nexios IT. We strongly believe in responsible business, paying attention to the employees, the economy and the environment. This is reflected in everything from the materials we buy - such as recycled paper - to the company cars, of course. Electric vehicles are better for our planet. That is why Nexios IT decided to make its fleet of 86 company cars more sustainable. The transition started in early 2021 and we hope to complete the process next year. For this transition, it seemed logical to call on BNP Paribas Fortis and Arval Belgium. Together, they have helped us make our fleet more sustainable with cars that perfectly match our needs, and take further steps towards a greener world.'

Every day we work towards a sustainable and digital economy. At Arval Belgium and BNP Paribas Fortis, we are very proud to be at the side of these passionate and inspiring entrepreneurs.
