With first quarter business sales growth rates of 265% for plug-in hybrid cars, 119% for simple hybrids and 25% for pure electrics, there is no longer any doubt that companies have decided to electrify. their fleets. Already observed in 2020, the movement is taking on another dimension and is turning into action. In view of the new regulatory measures, there is indeed an urgent need to equip oneself with clean vehicles.
This is the case for the establishment of low-emission mobility zones (ZFE-m). After Paris, Grenoble and Lyon, it is the Metropolis of Greater Paris, as well as those of Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Nice, Rouen, Strasbourg, Toulon and Toulouse which will close the doors of their city centers to the most vehicles. pollutants. And by 2025, agglomerations with more than 150,000 inhabitants will also have the duty to establish an EPZ-m. “The recent election of several green mayors at the head of large cities is also taken into account”, notes Laurent Hauducœur, Commercial Director of Traxall, specializing in fleet management. And the fleets wonder: “Will the vehicles ordered today still have the right to circulate within three years?” »Thus, already engaged in the EPZ process, the Greater Lyon metropolitan area plans to extend in 2022 the ban on traffic and parking to all vehicles classified Crit’Air 5. Then, in 2026, to all vehicles. those classified Crit’Air 4, 3 and 2, ie all diesel vehicles.

Other obligations recently entered into force, those resulting from the orientation law on mobility. The latter provides for the end of the sale of thermal vehicles in 2040 but also the obligation, by then, for companies to “green” their fleet. During the annual renewal of their fleet, all companies with more than 100 passenger cars will have to integrate a minimum share of 10% of low-emission vehicles from the 1er January 2022. More recently, the first articles voted in the framework of the Climate and Resilience Bill, debated in the National Assembly since March 29, will further accelerate the rise of clean vehicles in fleets. This share of business vehicle fleet renewal will reach 20% in 2024, 40% in 2027, then 70% in 2030.
