LOM law obligations don't take a summer break, even if your company's activity slows down during the holidays. We detail this entire regulatory framework in our article LOM Law: What are the obligations for corporate fleets in 2026 ; this piece focuses on the practical method for auditing your compliance before the return of the daily operational grind.
A compliance audit takes time: gathering fleet data, comparing your situation against regulatory thresholds, and identifying gaps. It is a difficult task to manage calmly during peak activity, whereas it becomes much more manageable during the weeks when fleet teams have more availability.
The first step is to confirm whether your company actually exceeds the thresholds that trigger greening or charging station installation obligations, as these thresholds are updated regularly by decree.
Once the threshold is confirmed, you need to compare the actual composition of your fleet renewed over the past year against the applicable greening target.
Alongside the vehicle aspect, it is essential to review your company parking facilities, which are subject to different rules depending on the size and age of the site. This infrastructure component directly overlaps with the obligations detailed in our article on the employer mobility plan, which more broadly covers legal obligations and the optimization of associated fleet costs.
This is also the ideal time to gather the data needed for regulatory reportingin advance, rather than scrambling to reconstruct it at the last minute when the filing deadline arrives.
A compliance audit is also an opportunity to ensure you are leveraging all available funding mechanisms to accelerate your transition. The France 2030 grants, which we detailed in a previous article, represent a concrete opportunity for procurement and site managers, with a deadline that should be monitored closely.
Certain corrective actions, such as launching a call for tenders for charging station installation or renegotiating a fleet renewal contract, require several weeks before they take effect. Initiating these over the summer, based on an audit already completed, allows you to start the new season with a concrete action plan. Once your greening trajectory is clear, our article Electrifying your fleet: how to switch to electric without changing your core business details the practical implementation steps.
Because an audit conducted during the summer period leaves time to initiate corrective actions before the reporting deadline, whereas a year-end audit often comes too late to take action for the current fiscal year.
Your fleet composition, the history of vehicles renewed over the year, and the characteristics of your company parking facilities (number of spaces, current charging station equipment).
Yes, several programs such as the France 2030 grant scheme can help fund your transition, though you should keep a close eye on the deadlines.
