Crédit Agricole Auto Bank and global EV leader BYD have signed a strategic agreement to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in France. The deal will provide tailored financing solutions for both private buyers and corporate fleets, supporting the distribution of BYD’s growing lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles across the country.

A European partnership expands to France

Already active in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, the partnership now extends to BYD’s French network of over 50 dealerships. Starting May 2025, CA Auto Bank will offer financing options through these outlets, backed by specialized training programs and digital tools to streamline the customer experience.

Supporting a rapidly growing EV portfolio

BYD—recognized globally for its battery technology and innovation—has launched nine vehicle models in France, including hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs like the BYD Dolphin, Seal, and Tang. These models are designed to meet the diverse needs of French consumers while promoting a shift toward cleaner transportation.

Emmanuel Bret, Deputy General Manager of BYD France, said the partnership will make their vehicles “more accessible and support strong national growth.” Robert Ogulluk, General Manager of CA Auto Bank France, added that the collaboration offers “promising development opportunities” and reinforces both companies as key players in France’s mobility sector.

This move positions CA Auto Bank and BYD at the forefront of France’s transition to sustainable transport—delivering innovation, accessibility, and choice to a rapidly evolving market.
