Noting that 63% of the French working class travels by car alone to go to work, the government is implementing a new mobility orientation law to encourage citizens to use greener and more economical means of transport. The “mobility” market tends to develop towards multimodal offers and platforms, which allow users to choose their mode of transport according to their journey and use.
FATEC is tackling the subject by studying this market trend and testing the implementation of a mobility plan in order to develop new mobility offers. European Mobility Week was the perfect opportunity to support this subject internally.
European Mobility Week has been organized every year in September since 2002 by the European Commission for communities and citizens. Going in the same direction as the LOM bill , the aim of this dedicated week is to encourage populations to use alternative solutions to the individual car and adopt an environmentally friendly mode of travel on a European scale.
In its premises, FATEC organized thematic workshops related to mobility topics. Employees were invited to think about the future of fleet management and to imagine how new modes of transport could facilitate their daily travel by saving more and polluting less.
Every lunchtime, a theme linked to mobility issues was analyzed thanks to the interventions and testimonies of some of our teams.
To start the week, FATEC opened the debate on the future of fleet management. How to successfully transition to mobility management? Market trends, statistics, competing offers: the analysis of these elements makes it possible to renew the service offering in a relevant manner.
On Tuesday, a FATEC customer director answered the question “Is the electric vehicle a real alternative to thermal?” » By comparing the costs in terms of construction, purchase, consumption and maintenance, electricity can prove to be an economical option if the use is mainly around the home and in urban areas. Thanks to his testimony, FATEC employees were able to take ownership of the subject and even test his electric car!
“How to optimize your home-work journey? » was the topic of Wednesday. The interest was to identify more economical and less polluting means of daily transport. Given the location of the FATEC company, the bus, train and inter-company carpooling prove to be advantageous for employees. Inter-company carpooling was set up, encouraging the 900 employees who work in the same neighborhood to download the Karos application.
Thursday noon, an external speaker, road safety trainer, carried out an awareness campaign on the telephone, alcohol and fatigue while driving; as well as motorcycle equipment and 2-wheel regulations. Through interactive exchanges, FATEC employees have become aware of the dangers and therefore represent new vectors for the propagation of road safety. To support this day, FATEC is a signatory of the 7 commitments for road safety:
To close the week, a brainstorming session was proposed on Friday noon to collect all the ideas for developing FATEC offers. Like internal consultants, each participant made their contribution to build relevant offers and pass on green, economic and security values to their level.
