Company car tax 2026: steering the electric transition
Since 1 January 2026, Belgian company car taxation has changed regime: combustion is getting steadily more expensive, electric is taking over. The question is no longer "should we electrify" but "in what order, and with what data".

What changed on 1 January 2026
Two shifts combine. On one side, only newly acquired zero-emission company cars retain tax deductibility; for recent combustion and hybrid models, the benefit is being phased out. On the other, the CO2 solidarity contribution on combustion vehicles has been sharply increased. With every contract renewal, the calculation tilts a little further towards electric.
The exact amounts depend on your situation (order date, drivetrain type, tax regime): your accountant or your fleet manager remains the reference for the tax figures. Our ground is the data that lets you decide.
Electrifying without data is gambling
The real operational question is simple: which vehicles in your fleet can go electric without disrupting the operation? To answer it, you need to know, vehicle by vehicle, the actual mileage, the journey profiles, the idle periods that would allow charging, and the current cost per kilometre.
That is exactly what telematics already measures. A few months of fleet data is enough to rank your vehicles: the ones doing 80 km a day around the depot can go electric tomorrow morning; the van doing Brussels to Milan every week will wait.
And once electrified, you manage them the same way
On our platform, electric vehicles live alongside combustion ones: state of charge, remaining range and cost per kilometre appear on the same dashboard. You see the missed charges, the ranges that do not fit the rounds, and the real TCO of each drivetrain, not the one in the brochure.
Three decisions to take with figures
- The order of electrification: by actual journey profile, not by contract age.
- Sizing the charging infrastructure: measured idle periods show where charge points will pay off.
- Monitoring after the switch: cost per kilometre, combustion versus electric, measured on your fleet.
Preparing a fleet renewal? Let us put the data in place a few months before the decision: it is the best investment in the whole file.
Decide with your data, not with averages
Describe your fleet and we will price the monitoring setup, combustion and electric alike.
