    LE 17H00 26/11/2020 ATHLON FRANCE TRAVAILLE AU DÉPLOIEMENT D’UNE OFFRE DE MOBILITÉ Opérationnelle aux Pays-Bas, l’offre Athlon Flex, anciennement ChangeMyCar, sera testée en France en 2021 auprès d’un client pilote. « Athlon International avait conclu après une longue étude que les conducteurs avaient besoin de beaucoup plus de flexibilité, de pouvoir changer de voiture beaucoup plus souvent, alors que les contrats de LLD courent généralement sur trois ou quatre ans et bloquent tout changement sur cette période. Or il se trouve que la vie des conducteurs peut changer, ils peuvent par exemple avoir des enfants et avoir donc avoir besoin d’un véhicule plus grand », explique Gérard de Chalonge, directeur commercial et marketing d’Athlon France. L’idée centrale d’Athlon Flex est que les employés choisissent et modifient les solutions qui correspondent à leurs besoins de mobilité changeants. Un jeune diplômé qui commence tout juste son premier emploi peut combiner une voiture, un vélo et les transports en commun. Les employés peuvent conduire à une voiture électrique au quotidien tout en conservant la flexibilité nécessaire pour revenir à une voiture thermique pour les vacances. Les jeunes familles peuvent quant à elle passer à une voiture familiale pour s’adapter à leurs enfants. Il s’agit en quelque sorte d’un budget mobilité dernière génération qui repose sur une application mobile. La prochaine étape sera un déploiement sur le marché français. Gérard de Chalonge précise que l’offre sera testée en 2021 auprès d’un client pilote, l’objectif étant « d’adapter le dispositif à notre culture, au contexte et aux besoins locaux car la maturité des Pays-Bas sur les questions de mobilité est plus avancée que la nôtre ».
