The green transition is no longer just an intention — it’s a legal obligation. The Mobility Orientation Law (LOM), adopted in 2019 and strengthened in 2025, confronts companies with a major challenge: greening their vehicle fleet or facing penalties. Yet many managers remain unclear about the exact deadlines and quotas they must meet, risking costly adjustments.
This article clarifies your obligations and shows you how to approach this transition with confidence, turning a regulatory constraint into a strategic opportunity.
What does the LOM Act say about corporate fleets?
The main objective of the LOM is clear: to require the gradual introduction of low-emission vehicles as companies renew their fleets each year. This measure aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the transport sector, which accounts for 32% of greenhouse-gas emissions in France.
Who is affected? The requirements apply to companies with more than 50 employees that manage a fleet of more than 100 light vehicles (gross vehicle weight under 3.5 tonnes).
Clean-vehicle quotas: does this apply to you?
Deadlines and quotas to meet
Minimum share of low-emission vehicles (LEVs) required in the annual fleet renewal:
| Year | Minimum share of LEVs in the renewal |
|---|---|
| Since 2022 | 10% |
| Since 2024 | 20% |
| From 2027 | 40% |
| From 2030 | 70% |
What is a “low-emission vehicle”?
Under the LOM, a low-emission vehicle (LEV) is a vehicle with CO₂ emissions of 60 g/km or less (WLTP standard). This includes:
- 100% electric vehicles.
- Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) with a significant electric range.
- Hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The solution: an independent aggregation platform for unified management
Step 1: take stock
A modern fleet management tool gives you an instant overview of your fleet’s composition: engine types, vehicle age, CO₂ emissions, mileage, and more. This centralized data is essential to identify which vehicles to replace first and to plan your strategy.
Step 2: plan your renewals
With their simulation features, these tools help you:
- Prioritize replacing the most polluting vehicles.
- Meet your annual quotas without throwing your budget off balance.
- Anticipate the costs (purchase, maintenance, charging) for each renewal scenario.
Step 3: simulate the impact
Fleet management solutions let you model the TCO (total cost of ownership) of clean vehicles (electric, hybrid) against combustion vehicles. You can then:
- Compare the savings on fuel, maintenance, and taxes.
- Assess the impact on your carbon footprint and your CSR image.
- Prepare your mandatory annual report on the data.gouv.fr platform by September 30.
Penalties and opportunities: what’s changing in 2025
The risks of non-compliance
From 2025, penalties escalate: €2,000 per missing vehicle in 2025, €4,000 in 2026, then €5,000 in 2027 — all capped at 1% of revenue.
Opportunities to seize
- Cost savings: electric and hybrid vehicles qualify for tax benefits (recoverable VAT, accelerated depreciation, exemption from certain taxes).
- Brand image and CSR: a green fleet strengthens your appeal to customers, partners, and talent.
- Getting ahead of LEZs: Low-Emission Zones are spreading, restricting polluting vehicles’ access to major cities.
Turning constraints into performance drivers
The LOM Act sets a precise timeline for greening your fleet. Planning ahead is the key to avoiding penalties and optimizing your transition:
- Centralize your data with a fleet management tool.
- Plan your renewals around your quotas and budget.
- Simulate the impact to choose the vehicles best suited to your needs.
A fleet management platform is no longer just a tracking tool: it’s your control center for successfully navigating the energy and regulatory transition, while cutting costs and showcasing your CSR commitment.
