Manufacturer BYD UK has teamed up with leasing company Arval UK to create BYD Lease.

The new operation will offer leasing products including business contract hire, on BYD vehicles including the Dolphin, Atto 3, Seal, Seal U DM-I, and the upcoming Sealion 7.

BYD UK sales and marketing director Steve Beattie said: “The introduction of BYD Lease is a big step for our growth in the UK. As one of the top leasing companies in the UK, we’re very happy to be partnering with Arval to make it even easier for our customers to choose BYD.”

Arval UK retail director Eliott Woodhead said: “We are delighted to work with BYD and their franchise partners, to help them promote and sell their innovative range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. 

“BYD’s ambitious volume aspirations complements our own plans for growth in the UK leasing sector and strengthens the existing relationship between BYD and the wider BNP Paribas Group.”
