XPOFleet Mobility Day 2025: Insights into the Future of Fleet and Mobility

XPOFleet Mobility Day 2025 brought together industry leaders to tackle one pressing question: How will fleet and mobility evolve in the face of rapid change?

As Ward Martens put it best, “Our industry will change more in the next 10 years than it has in the past 50.” With CO2 emission targets pressing down, billion-euro fines looming, and the EU tightening regulations, the automotive world is at a turning point.

From sustainability and electrification to the growing importance of data, here are the top trends that are reshaping fleet management and mobility.

Sustainable Mobility: The Electrification Revolution

Fleet electrification is no longer a distant goal: it’s a challenge companies must tackle head-on. The road to electrification is riddled with hurdles: driver hesitation, grid limitations, supply chain bottlenecks, and ever-changing regulations. The solution? A strategic, well-planned transition that looks beyond EV car schemes.

Forward-thinking companies are now shifting to mobility benefit programs, which provide employees with diverse travel options via user-friendly platforms. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is leading the charge, delivering personalized solutions for employees while aligning with local market dynamics.

Success lies in balancing cost-benefit analyses, regulatory compliance, and mobility trends while addressing tax implications and choosing between in-house or outsourced fleet management. Intelligent, data-driven tools are also stepping up to streamline the process, guiding employees toward sustainable choices without the hassle. From automated reimbursements to integrated public-private mobility solutions, these tools support efficiency and reduce emissions—all while actively engaging employees in sustainability efforts.

E-Mobility & Energy Management: Data Drives the Future

Belgium’s EV adoption is surging, with 25% of newly registered vehicles now electric. Companies and leasing firms are leading this transformation, yet private adoption is also booming, with a 104.7% growth rate. But adoption is just the beginning.

A successful electrification strategy requires more than buying EVs—it demands a holistic, data-driven approach. Here’s the winning formula for businesses:

1. Craft a unified strategy: Align fleet, HR, finance, and facilities under one cohesive policy.
2. Invest in scalable energy solutions: Choose future-proof options that adapt to evolving needs.
3. Focus on employee experience: Ensure smooth communication, support, and usability.
4. Leverage smart data: Use insights to control energy costs, track mileage, refine policies, and detect fraud.

When done right, it isn’t just about reducing emissions: it’s about creating a smarter, more cost-effective fleet that drives business success.

Mobility & Talent: The Future of Work Meets the Future of Travel

Mobility is no longer just a logistical concern—it’s now a major factor in attracting and retaining top talent. A strong mobility program doesn’t just cut commuting costs; it boosts employer brand, aligns with sustainability goals, and gives companies a competitive edge.

But here’s the catch: Mobility needs to be flexible and personalized. Different generations have different preferences, from company cars to bike leasing, public transport passes, and shared mobility options. Offering inclusive, easy-to-use alternatives increases employee satisfaction while supporting long-term growth.

A forward-looking mobility strategy does more than just get people from point A to point B. It strengthens infrastructure development, fosters talent retention, and positions companies as leaders in sustainability.

Conclusion: Embracing the Future of Mobility

XPOFleet Mobility Day 2025 made one thing clear—the future of fleet and mobility is being rewritten. From sustainable practices and data-driven strategies to electrification and talent-focused mobility programs, the industry is evolving faster than ever before.

To stay ahead, companies must prioritize flexibility, compliance, and employee-centric solutions. By embracing innovation and rethinking traditional approaches, businesses can achieve cost control, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability. The road ahead is exciting, are you ready to make the shift?
