PROMOCO - Professional Mobility and Company Car Ownership
Overview
Background & policy context:
More company cars are sold every year in Belgium. Moreover, existing analysis indicates that the annual mileage covered by company cars is significantly above that of private cars. This phenomenon and its effects on the general mobility can thus be considered as important elements of any realistic mobility analysis.
Can the impacts of this trend be estimated, both on sustainability issues and on the more general evolution of mobility behaviours? This is the central question in the PROMOCO project.
Objectives:
The project considered two major issues.
- The first is whether the company cars availability induces specific mobility patterns, and, if this is the case, how these specific patterns contribute to the impacts of the general mobility on a sustainable society.
- The second question is the potential relationship between the use of company cars and the relative localizations of the household and work places.
Methodology:
Given the project objectives, the network partners organised the technical work along three main lines: specific data collection, modeling of the company cars impact and description of the correlations between their availability and workplace accessibility.
