Belgium’s fast-paced mobility landscape is increasing the pressure on organisations to keep up. In addition to improving their sustainability and keeping vehicles under control, organisations now need to consider implementing the Federal Mobility Budget, which offers employees new freedoms in how they commute.

Our updated Mobility report reveals how these shifts are reshaping the way organisations manage their fleets, attract talent, and prepare for upcoming regulations. Download our report to discover insights on how to navigate this evolving landscape.

The shifting mobility landscape

While cars remain the dominant mode of commuting in Belgium—with company cars still a popular benefit—the era of petrol, diesel, and hybrids is giving way to full electrification. The majority of companies (74%) now have a full-electric policy for new fleet orders, marking a steady move towards greener fleets.

But this transition brings challenges. Charging infrastructure needs, managing costs, and fleet policies all require strategic adjustments. Moreover, mobility is a critical part of a competitive remuneration package – often seen as a deal-breaker for candidates during recruitment.

“Mobility is no longer a luxury but a necessity — it’s a key factor in attracting and retaining top talent.”

The Federal Mobility Budget: A game changer

The Federal Mobility Budget allows employees entitled to a company car to exchange it for a flexible mobility allowance, which they can spend on greener transport options or other mobility-related expenses. It’s grown from a niche option to a mainstream option offered by over half of the surveyed companies, with many more planning to do so soon. 

“The Federal Mobility Budget is becoming a decisive factor in the war for talent, prompting companies to adapt their homeworking and mobility policies.”

However, administrative complexities and unclear regulations mean many companies are still cautious—and eager for clearer guidance.

The pace of change in Belgium’s mobility landscape is rapid and relentless. Electric vehicles, rising fleet expenses, and new regulations like the Federal Mobility Budget will redefine how companies attract talent and operate efficiently.
