As businesses and governments push toward a lower-carbon future, electric mobility emerged as a promising solution for reducing emissions. However, the transition faces key challenges—particularly around cost and infrastructure. In France particularly, financial mechanisms like White Certificates or Certificats d’Économies d’Énergie (CEE) and the Taxe Incitative Relative à l'Utilisation d'Énergie Renouvelable dans les Transports (TIRUERT) tax incentive provide effective tools to accelerate adoption.
Energy Savings Certificates: Lowering the Cost of Heavy-Duty EVs
One of the biggest barriers to fleet electrification is the high upfront cost of heavy-duty electric vehicles. In France, Certificats d’Économies d’Énergie (CEE) incentives—TRA-EQ-128 and 129—help offset these costs with substantial financial support, improving the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
- Subsidies can reach up to €55,000 per vehicle, with additional bonuses available for specific sectors.
- CEE incentives remain valid for five years, while sector-specific bonuses apply for two years.
- These incentives create a high-impact opportunity for industries like logistics and public transport.
At STX Group, we help businesses identify, manage, and maximize these financial opportunities, turning cost barriers into strategic advantages.

TIRUERT: Expanding Charging Infrastructure
Widespread EV adoption depends on a well-developed charging infrastructure. The Tax Incentive for the Use of Renewable Energy in Transport or Taxe Incitative Relative à l'Utilisation d'Énergie Renouvelable dans les Transports (TIRUERT) supports this by allowing public charging station operators to generate renewable electricity certificates, which they can sell to fuel distributors.
Key benefits for charging station developers:
- Additional revenue streams through certificate sales.
- Faster return on investment by monetizing renewable energy generation.
STX Group simplifies the entire process—from regulatory registration (Data.Gouv, Carbure, QualiCharge) to certificate sales—ensuring businesses optimize financial returns while streamlining certification.
Why French Businesses Should Invest in Electric Mobility Now
Electrifying vehicle fleets is a strategic move to remain competitive. By leveraging CEE and TIRUERT, businesses can:
- Lower costs and improve fleet economics.
- Strengthen sustainability credentials in a carbon-conscious market.
- Future-proof operations against evolving regulations.
STX Group provides end-to-end support—from eligibility assessments to securing grants and certificates—ensuring a seamless, profitable transition to electric mobility.
