What does the LOM say about greening the car fleet?

The Mobility Orientation Law (LOM), adopted in December 2019, aims to transform mobility in France to make it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The law requires the greening of the car fleet and thus the reduction of CO2 emissions from vehicles used by businesses and communities. This article explores the main provisions of the LOM concerning the greening of car fleets.

LOM goals for greening fleets

The LOM sets ambitious goals to reduce CO2 emissions in France, especially with regard to vehicle fleets. According to the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, the law requires businesses and communities to progressively green their vehicle fleets. This includes the introduction of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, or vehicles that use other forms of clean energy.

Obligations for businesses and communities

The LOM imposes progressive obligations on businesses to renew their vehicle fleets. Here are the details of the deadlines:

• January 1, 2022: At least 10% of light vehicles renewed by companies with more than 100 vehicles must be low-emission.
• January 1, 2024: This percentage increases to 20%.
• January 1, 2027: The requirement increases to 40%.
• January 1, 2030: At least 70% of new renewed vehicles must be low-emission.

These obligations also apply to local authorities, with similar thresholds for the vehicles in their fleets.

Financial support and incentives

To facilitate this transition, the State proposes in particular financial incentives for buying or renting cleaner vehicles. Businesses can also benefit from grants and specific assistance to help them cover the costs associated with the electrification of their fleet and the installation of charging infrastructures to support this transition.

Impacts and perspectives

The implementation of the LOM represents an opportunity for businesses to actively contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. By renewing their fleets with cleaner vehicles, businesses are not only complying with regulations, but also participating in the fight against climate change. However, this transition requires strategic planning to optimize investments and not operationally impact business activity.

Conclusion

The Mobility Orientation Law marks an important step in the transformation of the French car fleet towards more sustainable mobility. Businesses and communities must now plan to green their fleets to meet LOM requirements. Meeting these new obligations is not only a matter of legal compliance, but also an opportunity to demonstrate a strong commitment to the environment.
