Freenow surveyed 4,554 professionals in 9 European countries: France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Romania and Poland. The aim was to map out the future of corporate mobility, and in particular the place of the company carand its future. A statutory advantage that currently concerns three out of ten French people (29%), but which the majority of those surveyed (59 %) would be prepared to do without in favour of a "new" job. mobility budget equivalent. Of course, such a transition offers the advantage of a choice of transport mode. But the disadvantages associated with the company car are no stranger to this trend. Employees particularly point to traffic jams (51%), ahead of the cost of fuel (44 %) and parking problems, both in terms of cost and availability (38 %). According to Freenow, the value of the company car is also called into question by employees' views on the future of business travel: " almost one in 3 employees thinks that business travel will decrease in the coming years, reducing the interest in owning a vehicle that is mainly used for long journeys "According to Freenow's management.
Still a long way to go
However, there is still a long way to go, as shown by the other findings of the Freenow study. Starting with the still confidential nature of the mobility budget, which currently concerns only 7 % of employees. Furthermore, environmental awareness has not yet spread to all employers. Nearly half of employees (48.5%) believe that their company is not interested in the emissions caused by their employees' mobility.
" After the summer we've just had, many people are questioning their environmental impact and the way they travel. "says Benjamin Giovanni, Sales Director at Freenow France. " While we can see that this has an influence on the increasing use of micro-mobility for personal reasons, we can also see that on the professional side, the French expect their employer to make a real commitment to these issues and to truly diversify their means of transport. "he adds.
