Hire firm Avis has joined forces with leasing company Arval to use a common platform for remarketing 180,000 used cars into the European market annually.

The partnership will enable dealers to directly access an extended offer of stock on the same MotorTrade platform.

Operational since 2009, MotorTrade is already available in France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom, with further roll-out planned.

MotorTrade organises vehicle sales 24/7, either by immediate purchase at the proposed price, or by
submission of bids. Every month, over 7,000 vehicles are sold to professionals on the platform.

Arval said MotorTrade will now have an even wider and range of used vehicles of all ages (9 to 24 months for Avis and 24 to 60 months for Arval), manufacturers, categories, and powertrain types.
Vehicles are inspected by independent companies before they are put up for sale on MotorTrade.
