Fleet electrification: how do mobility managers experience the transition?
About the session
Kantar and Trustmedia collaborated on a car study targeting both the average Belgian consumer (B2C) and mobility managers in Belgian companies (B2B). At Mobility Tomorrow, the emphasis will be on the B2B aspect, focusing on electrification. This includes insights into charging infrastructure within Belgian companies, challenges in transitioning to a green car fleet, impact of electrification on brand and car type availability, employee preferences, and the influence of non-European electric cars on company fleets. The questionnaire for this study was developed in partnership with Jochen De Smet.
The study provides insights into the following topics:
- Share of electric cars in company fleets.
- Challenges in transitioning to a fully green car fleet.
- Home charging dynamics: providers, payment responsibility, and regulatory aspects.
- Presence of charging facilities in companies, adequacy of infrastructure, and access to public charging.
- Collaboration with Charge Point Operators (CPOs).
- Access to data and cost information regarding employee charging.
- Availability of non-electric alternatives for employees.
- Impact of electrification on brand offerings and employee choices.
- Consideration of non-European electric car models and brands in company fleets.
- Exploration of alternative transportation methods and mobility budgets.
Upon entering each breakout room, your details will be scanned to enable potential communication later on.
