For the first time in more than fifteen years, official data from the Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport (SPF Mobilit\u00e9)<\/strong> mark a turning point: the growth of company cars<\/strong> has come to a halt, while mobility budgets<\/strong> continue to gain traction.
At the same time, SNCB<\/strong> and Infrabel<\/strong> are accelerating the transformation of public transport, driving the country\u2019s sustainable mobility ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For HR, Fleet, Finance, Facilities and Mobility Managers<\/strong>, these shifts are anything but anecdotal. They signal a structural rebalancing of mobility policies \u2014 at the intersection of taxation, electrification, and employees\u2019 changing expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport<\/strong>, \u201cIn 2025, for the first time since the publication of detailed data, the number of company cars has stagnated.\u201d<\/em> Chart 1 \u2013 Evolution of company cars in Belgium (2007\u20132025)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This stagnation reflects several trends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For fleet managers, 2025 marks a transition year \u2014 balancing cost control with the shift towards electrified, low-emission fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduced by law on 17 March 2019, Belgium\u2019s mobility budget<\/strong> allows employers to offer employees an alternative to the company car, built around three pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2024, 18,516 employees<\/strong> benefited from a mobility budget, including 17,157 without a company car<\/strong> \u2014 that\u2019s still less than 0.5% of all employees<\/strong>, but nearly 3% of all mobility benefit recipients<\/strong>.

For HR, it\u2019s a lever for attraction and retention<\/strong>. For Finance, it\u2019s a challenge to manage \u2014 combining vehicles, budgets, and fiscal frameworks within one coherent system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Registration data from the SPF Mobility<\/strong> for 2025 confirm this transformation.
