The strategic partnership between CA Auto Bank and DR Automobiles, established in 2022, continues to evolve and strengthen. The agreement between the Bank—controlled by Crédit Agricole Personal Finance & Mobility—and the Molise-based automotive group, which already encompasses the DR, ICH-X, Sportequipe, and EVO brands, has now been extended to include the new Tiger and Birba brands, consolidating a successful collaboration within the Italian automotive landscape.
This expansion allows CA Auto Bank to support the growth of DR Group’s latest brands by offering a wide range of flexible and competitive financial solutions. For the Tiger brand, these include traditional installment plans, PCP (Personal Contract Purchase), and leasing, tailored for end users (households, companies, freelancers) and the dealer network. The partnership currently focuses on the Tiger Six—an SUV with a bold, distinctive design intended for those seeking performance and style—and will soon extend to the new Tiger Eight SUV.
For Birba, a compact and agile quadricycle designed for sustainable urban mobility, CA Auto Bank will provide the dealer network with both traditional financing options and innovative solutions such as the APP (Advanced Payment Plan).
“Expanding our partnership with a leading operator like CA Auto Bank is a key step in supporting the growth of Tiger and Birba”, said Massimo Di Risio, Founder and President of DR Automobiles Groupe.
“Relying on a solid and trusted partner enables us to offer our customers and dealer network not only quality automotive products, but also financial services that meet their expectations—making the purchasing experience simpler and more rewarding”.
“We are proud to strengthen our collaboration with DR Automobiles, a partner with whom we share a vision of accessible and innovative mobility”, said Giacomo Carelli, CEO and General Manager of CA Auto Bank. “This new chapter in our partnership allows us to support the launch of the Tiger and Birba brands, providing their sales network and customers with a full range of competitive financial solutions designed to meet every mobility need”.
The earliest opportunity to discover firsthand the latest developments from both groups will be at the Salone dell’Auto di Torino 2025, where CA Auto Bank and the Tiger and Birba brands will each have their own exhibition stands to welcome the public and industry professionals.
