Under the European Green Deal’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, transport emissions must be reduced by 90% by 2050, compared to 1990 levels. The Greening Corporate Fleets Initiative aims to transition corporate fleets to zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs), aiding the decarbonization of road transport and complementing existing rules on road transport emissions. In February 2024, the European Commission opened a public consultation on the Greening Corporate Fleets initiative, which considered which mechanisms should be used to facilitate a transition to ZEVs, including mandatory targets and incentives. In the Mission Letter of 17 September 2024 by Ursula von der Leyen, the Commissioner-designate for Transport and Tourism, Apostolos Tzitzikostas was asked to put forward proposals for clean corporate fleets. The wording was later changed to put forward a legislative proposal for clean corporate fleets. In a March 2025 communication, the Commission confirmed that a high-level dialogue will take place, starting in the second quarter of 2025.
A legislative proposal from the Commission is expected by the end of 2025. It is currently unclear whether mandates or incentives will be adopted in the legislation; however, in March 2025, the Commission published a communication which presented good practices that can help accelerate corporate ZEV uptake and actions Member States can take ahead of the legislative proposal. The communication stated that any measure “would need to take into account cost-efficient and fast reduction of emission as well as territorial dimensions and challenges in less developed regions”. Based on the 2024 public consultation, the Commission also acknowledged the benefits of fiscal measures in the acceleration of the transition to ZEV corporate fleets and stated it intends to work closely with Member States on fiscal regimes and incentives for company cars. To further consult with relevant stakeholders, the Commission has planned a high-level dialogue starting in the second quarter of 2025.

In a 5 August article published by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), the industry association opposed mandatory measures to decarbonize corporate fleets. Citing lack of affordability, insufficient infrastructure and a weak second-hand market, ACEA called instead for "well-designed incentives" and a "non-legislative proposal". This comes ahead of the European Commission's Greening Corporate Fleets proposal scheduled for Q4 2025.
