Corporate Mobility Budgets: Replacing Company Cars with Sharing

The traditional "company car" is undergoing a radical transformation. In 2026, the once-coveted perk of a dedicated executive sedan is being replaced by a more flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative: the corporate mobility budget.

Instead of a car that sits idle 90% of the time, employees are being empowered with a mobility allowance that can be used for shared car pools, public transit, or micro-mobility. ........
