Employers stop a lot of money in enterprise mobility, most of which is commuting. By the means of transport more efficiently, this cost 15 to 20 percent.

However, the problem is that the car often as an acquired right is seen by the workers. It is for employers, therefore, difficult to get them to speak on their travel behaviour. Also is the save on mobility costs difficult since these are often spread across multiple departments. Athlon Car Lease knows a solution for this: “We see that corporate travel is changing from a lease to a holistic approach of mobility: of the total cost of ownership (TCO) to total cost of mobility (TCM). If you are going to work on the basis of TCM bring you the travel needs and expenses for all allow road users within a company. A policy on the basis of TCM leads to a better grip on mobility costs, higher employee satisfaction and less environmental impact.”

Giuliano Mingardo of the Mobility Management Academy (Erasmus University, Rotterdam) it is with this vision. “Because mobility is no single expense on the balance sheet of a company, there is also no one that is settled. Where you for other things a clear target lay with managers, is that in this case it is not possible. Officially ‘exists’ mobility as a cost center. We have at the university, for example, investigated what the cost to everyone every day physically present. It turns out that it is between 14 and 20 percent of the total labour costs amounts to.”

In addition, choose the employee himself becoming more and more CO2 is poor and of a fiscally attractive car, which contributes to the savings; 87% of the employees to 34 age choose more often for alternative transport solutions. Also, there is an increase in the number of mobiliteitskaarten, of which the employee, with train, bus, tram, metro, poolauto, taxi, public bicycle, P+R parking and/or car rental to travel to. Research by CE Delft has shown that the use of these mobility card could lead to an advantage of 1.4 billion euros for Dutch businesses.

However, it appears that in practice, few companies actually take action. Mobility management specialist Mingardo follows the developments for years in the foot. “Research commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment came as the most important point to forward that to a so-called ‘compelling event’ the introduction of mobility management significantly easier. Think of it as a relocation, reorganization, or the appointment of a new director with a unique vision.”
