Sustainable fleet management

Fleet strategies are evolving fast. Rising costs, changing tax rules, zero-emission zones and new ESG reporting obligations require organisations to rethink how they manage vehicles, charging and employee mobility. Sustainable fleet management helps companies reduce emissions, control spending and stay compliant while building a future-proof mobility policy.

Explore the key focus areas and practical steps for building a more efficient, compliant and sustainable fleet.

What is sustainable fleet management

Sustainable fleet management is the practice of reducing environmental impact while improving cost efficiency and compliance. It combines electrification, data-driven decision-making, policy updates and better mobility options.

A strong fleet strategy:

  • reduces CO₂ emissions
  • lowers total cost of ownership
  • supports CSRD and ESG reporting
  • aligns with new tax and regulatory frameworks
  • ensures long-term operational access in zero-emission zones
  • improves the employee experience

Why fleets must adapt today

Sustainability is no longer only an environmental priority. Regulations and tax reforms are reshaping the economics of company mobility.

The most important shifts include:

  • Declining tax benefits for fossil-fuel vehicles
  • Increasing employer contributions linked to vehicle emissions
  • Zero-emission zones restricting city access for non-electric vehicles
  • CSRD requirements for accurate fleet emissions reporting
  • The move toward electric-first car policies

These changes make sustainable fleet management both a compliance requirement and a financial opportunity.

Why it matters

    • counter_1

      Regulatory pressure

      Tax deductibility rules, reimbursement guidelines and zero-emission zones all push organisations toward cleaner fleets.
    • counter_2

      Emissions reporting obligations

      Accurate data is required for ESG and CSRD reporting. Fleets are a major contributor to operational emissions.

      Cost optimisation

      Unnecessary mileage, inefficient charging and underutilised vehicles increase costs. Sustainable fleet plans reduce waste.

      Changing mobility needs

      Hybrid work patterns and modern employee expectations require a flexible approach to mobility. Sustainable fleet management supports this shift.

    How to get started

    A future-ready fleet strategy starts with clear insight into usage, costs and emissions. Focus on:

    • mapping your current fleet and mobility spend
    • identifying where emissions come from
    • assessing charging and electrification readiness
    • defining cost and sustainability objectives
    • updating policies to reflect new rules and mobility habits

    A phased approach helps organisations transition without disruption.
