CA Auto Bank and the Erwin Hymer Group drive forward their European cooperation

Crédit Agricole Auto Bank and the Erwin Hymer Group, one of Europe’s leading groups of manufacturers of caravans and motorhomes, announce the continuation of their successful cooperation first launched in 2015.

Under the amended agreement, CA Auto Bank will continue to offer financial solutions to both end customers and dealers of the Erwin Hymer Group throughout all major European markets, supporting about 400 dealers of the EHG dealer network in Europe. The collaboration covers the group’s entire range of recreational vehicles.

Through this agreement, CA Auto Bank further strengthens its role as one of the leading mobility banks into the recreational vehicle and leisure sector, which continues to thrive as a cornerstone of the leisure economy across Europe. Driven by the growing desire for independent, flexible and nature-based travel, the market has seen consistent growth: according to the European Caravan Federation (ECF), more than 221,000 new recreational vehicles were registered in Europe in 2024 (+5.2% compared to 2023), underscoring the strength and appeal of this segment. Germany, in particular, stands out as one of the most mature and dynamic markets, with a strong culture of outdoor tourism and high demand for leisure vehicles.

“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. Motorhomes and caravans embody a spirit of freedom and adventure, and we are honoured to support their growth with financing solutions designed to meet the needs of modern travellers,” said Giacomo Carelli, CEO and General Manager of CA Auto Bank.
