Fleet Logistics launches MobilityBUDGET

Fleet Logistics has launched MobilityBUDGET, the company’s first step in the transition from pure fleet management services to new managed mobility solutions.

MobilityBUDGET provides employees with a tax optimised cash amount which can be used to cover personal multi-modal mobility needs, ranging from personal lease, through shared mobility including rental cars to public transport.

Europe-wide

The web- and app-based service is being rolled out in Germany from January 2021, and a second country is scheduled to follow in the second half of the year.

The countries of priority are those in which governments provide benefits in terms of taxation but Fleet Logistics, which has a contract portfolio of around 180,000 vehicles in more than 27 countries, is ultimately aiming for Europe-wide availability.

“The company car is no longer the most attractive option for every single user group, neither as source of mobility nor as benefit. This is why we are broadening the mobility options we are offering,” said Steffen Schick (pictured, left), CEO, Fleet Logistics.

MMaaS

“In this context, it is important to us that we offer a high degree of flexibility to our clients by combining a growing choice of mobility services and turning them into simple, digital and cost-effective solutions. This is what we call Managed Mobility as a Service (MMaaS,) to differentiate it from Mobility as a Service (MaaS).”

Senior Product Manager Patrick Averweg (pictured, right) added: “MobilityBUDGET applies to all employees regardless of the company car usage. The employer can implement this solution as an alternative or an addition to a company car, as salary compensation for new hires or for employees receiving a salary increase.”
