Therefore, we are pleased to present a strong and reliable offer where our customers get a complete solution that makes car ownership both simple and predictable. Our ambition is to provide a leasing service that makes everyday life easier for our corporate and private customers. In the first stage, we are launching the operational leasing service for companies together with Arval, and in the next step we will introduce a dedicated solution for private customers. Through this partnership with Arval, we can combine our experience in the Swedish market with Arval’s international resources and leasing expertise, creating a solution that is both flexible and sustainable in the long term,” says Rickard Magnusson, COO of Hedin Automotive Sweden.
The leasing offer includes a guaranteed residual value and a comprehensive package of services, providing customers with a secure setup and full cost control. The service covers a fixed interest rate, servicing, maintenance, repairs, insurance, winter tyres and storage, claims management, driver support and simplified administration with everything consolidated in a single invoice.
“We are delighted to launch Hedin Automotive Lease together with Hedin Automotive, and at Arval we look forward to contributing our many years of expertise in operational leasing. Through Hedin’s nationwide dealer network, we can reach even more corporate and private leasing customers across Sweden, and thanks to our team of experts we will provide a comprehensive global solution,” says Philippe Chabert, General Manager of Arval Sweden.
