🚛Why waiting to buy a company car can be an expensive mistake

The rules are changing fast: from 1 January 2025, you will pay substantially more for a fuel-fuelled company car due to bpm, and access to zero-emission zones will be restricted in many cities. But you can be smart about this... 

Mark Horsten, COO Vans at Mercedes-Benz Netherlands, explains: "From 2025, a fuel-fuelled commercial vehicle will become significantly more expensive due to the bpm. Moreover, with a new fuel car you will no longer have access to the zero-emission zones in dozens of cities." 

💡 What to do? Buy a company car before 1 January 2025! 

If you register your new company car this year, you will save the bpm and be allowed to drive in the zero-emission zones until 2028 with an emission class 6 vehicle. However, bear in mind limited production slots and longer delivery times. So order on time to avoid disappointment. This also applies to the busy RDW type approvals. 

🔋 Consider electric! 

No bpm and always access to zero-emission zones. Most electric commercial vehicles today have a considerable range, often over 400km per charge! They also have fast-charging capabilities, which means you're quickly back on the road after a pee break and a coffee at the petrol station. 

💸 Cost comparison: Diesel vs Electric after 2025 

For example: the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter. It is available with various battery options and action radii of up to 443 km. Prices start at around €63,000 (without bpm and VAT), with a possible €5,000 SEBA subsidy. After 1 January 2025, you will quickly be €6,000 more expensive for a comparable diesel version due to bpm.
