CA Auto Bank and Erwin Hymer Group strengthen European partnership

Crédit Agricole (CA) Auto Bank and the Erwin Hymer Group (EHG), one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of caravans and motorhomes, have announced the continuation and expansion of their long-standing cooperation across Europe.

First established in 2015, the renewed non-exclusive partnership now supports around 400 dealers in the EHG network across all major European markets. The agreement covers the entire range of Erwin Hymer Group recreational vehicles, offering both end customers and dealers tailored financial solutions.

Under the enhanced deal, CA Auto Bank will provide a wide suite of flexible financing options — including hire purchase, guaranteed future value plans, balloon payments, and rent-to-rent arrangements — to meet the growing demand for leisure mobility.

“We are particularly proud of this agreement to continue the cooperation, which not only confirms a solid, long-standing cooperation that began ten years ago, but also celebrates our Bank’s centenary alongside a European leader in the leisure and recreational vehicle sector,” said Giacomo Carelli, CEO and General Manager of CA Auto Bank.

The partnership comes amid continued growth in the recreational vehicle sector. According to the European Caravan Federation, over 221,000 new RVs were registered in Europe in 2024, a 5.2% increase from the previous year — with Germany leading the way in outdoor tourism and vehicle demand.
