It’s impossible to imagine strategic management in this day and age without the company car, not only in terms of day-to-day activities but also in respect of HR management and as a means of supporting a company’s image. In order to provide all the players in the sector with a 360° view of the dynamics of this market, the Corporate Vehicle Observatory (www.cvo-belgium.be) was launched in Belgium on 15 June 2007, at Arval’s initiative.

CVO is an international company vehicle information forum. Via observation and analysis, CVO studies strategic themes related to company vehicles. This makes CVO an effective source of inspiration and a useful decision making tool for all players and opinion leaders on the company vehicle market. The objective approach, based on information over a longer period of time, also makes it possible to discern national and international trends and compare them with each other. CVO aims to help you as transparently as possible to make the right decisions regarding company vehicles.

CVO was set up in France in 2002 and now operates in 10 countries (Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland).

Apart from the annual Barometer, CVO regularly organises workshops and a number of current topics are examined closely in the newsletters. CVO publishes articles about fleet management on its website (www.cvo-belgium.be) with interesting tips for decision makers. They can be found in three sections:
- management & taxation;
- sustainable development & environment;
- technology & safety.
