Fleet management is undergoing rapid transformations, driven by technological changes and new operational demands . Companies, pressured by greater cost control and stricter environmental guidelines, are evaluating mobility models that will allow them to maintain efficiency and competitiveness.
According to the study “Ecological, Intelligent, and Integrated ,” prepared by Edenred , corporate mobility is at a turning point. The document identified three trends that will shape the evolution of fleets by 2026: electrification, digitalization, and sustainability .
Electromobility: the path towards lower emissions operations
Transportation accounts for one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and relies on fossil fuels for 95% of its energy needs. Edenred indicated that, to move towards a zero-emissions scenario by 2030, the sector must reduce its emissions by 25%, promoting electric vehicles, biofuels, and clean energy . Although costs are decreasing, challenges such as charging infrastructure and financing remain.
Digitization: data as an engine of efficiency
The study highlighted that tools such as telematics, predictive maintenance, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can reduce maintenance costs by up to 15% and increase vehicle availability by 10% to 15%. However, adoption remains uneven due to a lack of data access and complex administrative processes. Edenred emphasized that fleets must have complete control over their information to optimize operational decisions.
Sustainability: from compliance to positive impact
The document emphasized that companies can become key players in sustainable transport, given the number of kilometers they travel and their role in purchasing new vehicles. The approach focuses on measuring and reducing emissions using the GHG Protocol methodology, promoting offsetting projects, and encouraging efficient driving.
Edenred concluded that the combination of technology, clean energy and data culture will define the competitiveness of fleets in the coming years , in an environment where efficiency and sustainability will be increasingly crucial.
