Turin, 31st August 2023
CA Auto Bank and AEC Group, with its subsidiaries AEC (official importer of Dodge & RAM) and AECSV (official importer of Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC), announce a new agreement in financial services for the markets Benelux, Denmark and Italy. Under this strategic partnership, the Bank, a subsidiary of Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, will provide financing solutions to the more than 150 dealers and end customers of two of AEC Group’s subsidiaries, AEC and AECSV.
The agreement, which is active in Benelux, Denmark and Italy, covers all models of the Dodge and RAM brands marketed by AEC, such as Dodge Charger, Challenger and Durango as well as RAM 1500. In addition, it includes AECSV’s North America sourced internal combustion engine niche portfolio of GM brands Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC that were recently introduced by AECSV, including top models like Cadillac Escalade, XT6 and Camaro, Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban, and GMC Sierra.
CA Auto Bank will support AEC Group’s subsidiaries with its range of innovative and flexible financial solutions, from installment loans to leases, which are designed to make Dodge and RAM vehicles, and the selected range of Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC models, more accessible. The partnership will also extend to the provision of insurance services and rental plans from Drivalia, the mobility company of the CA Auto Bank group, which provides rentals of all durations, car subscriptions, car sharing, and on-demand mobility services.
“We are delighted with this agreement, which lays the foundation for a new strategic cooperation with AEC Group and is further testament to our know-how and expertise, accumulated over nearly a century of history alongside some of the most important international automotive brands,” said Giacomo Carelli, CEO of CA Auto Bank. “Our Bank expands its roster of major partners, as it joins forces with AEC Group, a group of companies that has a strong European presence and is open to innovation.
