The LOM law and the obligation to electrify the company fleet: a reminder
The transition to sustainable mobility is not limited to private individuals. Companies play a crucial role in this evolution, and the Mobility Orientation Law (LOM) now imposes specific specific obligations on business players.
In 2024, these measures are more topical than ever, directly impacting fleet management and recharging infrastructures. Understanding these obligations is essential if you are to comply with regulations while optimizing your commitment to the environment.
Pollution and professional mobility: the ecological imperative
This law plays a central role in the importance of professional mobility. The transport sector alone consumes almost half of France's imported petroleum products. which, by 2022, will account for around 28% of France's trade deficit. It is also the only sector only sector whose emissions have not decreased since 1990.
Indeed, in 2023, the the transportation sector remains the main emitter of greenhouse gases in Franceaccounting for almost⅓ of national emissionsof which more than 50% of which are attributable to private cars (and nearly 70% including light commercial light commercial vehicles).

But that's not all: according to the report by the Think Tank headed by the consultancy Bearing Point, commuting commuting alone account for 12% of national transport-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Although reducing travel and adopting telecommuting can help reduce a company'scarbon footprint it is just as crucial to act at source by encouraging the use of low-emission vehicles.
What is the LOM law?
The National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC) aims to total decarbonization of road transport by 2050with a 40% reduction in its emissions by 2030.
To meet its national and European commitments, and to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels, France must immediately implement all the levers needed to decarbonize mobility.
For this reason, the French government has introduced various legislative measures aimed at promote soft mobility within companies. The Mobility Orientation Act (LOM) has replaced the Loi d'Orientation des Transports Intérieurs (LOTI) in order to better integrate environmental issues, which are now unavoidable.
Published in the Journal Officiel on December 26, 2019, the Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités (LOM) aims toaccelerate the transition to sustainable mobility and thusachieve carbon-neutral transport by 2050.
With this in mind, Article 77 of the LOM law requires, as of 2022, that companies companies with more than 50 employees and a fleet of 100 vehicles or more must respect a quota of "clean vehicles" when renewing their corporate fleets.
For further information : Quotas for electric vehicles in company fleets
This concept should be clarified: according to Decree 2017-24, this refers to low-emission vehicles emitting less than 60 g/km of CO2.
This category includes only :
- the electric vehicles,
- hydrogen-powered vehicles,
- and plug-in hybrid cars.
At the same time, this legislation encourages companies to integrate environmentally-friendly technologies and practicesby installing charging stations.
A law not systematically respected
Against all expectations, according to the association Transport & Environment, ⅔ of companies are not complying with the obligation to integrate clean vehicles via purchase or professional leasing, and almost all of them fail to submit reports. Regarding short-term leasing, Avere-France stresses the need for adjustments.
Further information : Ecological transition: 60% of the 3,447 French companies concerned do not comply with the LOM law
As a result, a law proposal led by Damien Adammember of parliament for the "Renaissance" political party, aims to introduce a stricter framework with shorter implementation deadlines and stiff financial penalties for recalcitrant companies.

Support for the installation of recharging points on company premises
To facilitate this transition and encourage professionals to align themselves with ecological imperatives and current legislation, a number of grants are available.
As of June 30, 2023, the Advenir program has tightened its eligibility criteriafocusing solely on :
- automotive services,
- and short-term vehicle rental.
In other words, since June 2023, projects tocharging stations accessible to the public in private parking lots are no longer eligible for by Advenir.
This measure aims to accelerate theadoption of electric mobility in strategic sectors in France.
For the automotive service professionalsthe premium varies according to the use of the recharging points:
- For fleets and employees : coverage of 25% of costs, excluding taxup to €750 per recharging point.
- For points open to the public a subsidy of 50% of costswith a ceiling ranging from €1,700 to €7,500, depending on power.
For short-term short-term rental companiesthe premium amounts to 20% of the cost excluding taxwith a limit of €600 per recharging point.
But that's not all: the program has been extended to include a subsidy covering 50% of the cost ofinstallation of truck-mounted charging stationswith ceilings ranging from €2,200 to €960,000depending on horsepower.
Please note Benefits in kind linked to the provision of electric vehicles and recharging solutions by the employer are extended until December 31, 2024. In other words, after this date, free recharging will no longer be available to employees in the workplace.
Tax benefits of charging stations for professionals
In addition to direct subsidies, the installation of charging stations also brings tax benefits for businesses.
In fact, electric electric company vehicles provide a tax advantage for the employer as well as being a lever for attracting and retaining employees.
But that's not all: it's made even more attractive by the fact that these electric company cars benefit fromtax exemptions andspecific tax breaks, especially as thea charging station can be amortized in just one year..
For example, electricity electricity costs for vehicle recharging are not included in the calculation of the benefit in kindand a and a 50% deduction may be applied up to a 1,800 per year. This provision enables employees to avoid any increase in their tax rate. However, the calculation of this benefit varies according to whether the vehicle is purchased or leased by the company.
Similarly, for electric vehicles VAT on electricity is fully recoverable. What's more, companies benefit from a range of additional tax advantages, such as :
- exemption from vehicle registration fees,
- an attractive depreciation base of €30,000,
- and exemption from Taxe sur les Véhicules de Société (TVS).
