The issue of sustainable mobility today extends far beyond the number of electric vehicles on the roads or the development of public transportation systems. Perhaps the greatest challenge facing companies, executives, and employees is not the technology itself, but the transformation of mindset. This was one of the key messages of the “Zöld Mobilitás Café” (Green Mobility Café) event organized by MVÜK Zrt., where experts, service providers, and corporate decision-makers came together to jointly explore possible solutions.

Many Good Solutions – and Even More Questions
In Hungary, 16% of the population primarily commute by bicycle, while 13% travel mainly on foot. In the Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld), this ratio is even higher, with every third resident using a bicycle as their primary mode of transportation. In Budapest, however, only 5% choose cycling as their main means of transport.
According to Fertetics Mandy, Sustainability Director at MVÜK Zrt., the issue of sustainable mobility is far from being solely dependent on technological solutions. Although the necessary tools, such as electric vehicles, shared mobility services, and mobility platforms, are already available, they are not sufficient on their own. Real progress requires a shift in mindset, openness, dialogue, and cooperation among corporate stakeholders.
As she explained, sustainable mobility is not only about the types of vehicles we use, but also about how we think about commuting, business travel, workplace flexibility, and leveraging digital opportunities.
What Did We Learn at the “Zöld Mobilitás Café” (Green Mobility Café)?
1. The technology already exists — the question is how we use it.
The tools, service providers, and platforms required for sustainable transportation are already accessible today: electric vehicles, mobility applications, shared transportation alternatives, and corporate fleet service providers. The real challenge is not whether solutions exist, but how these opportunities can be implemented intelligently, consciously, and in alignment with organizational operations.
2. A shift in mindset is unavoidable.
Green mobility is not merely a technological innovation — it is fundamentally a change in perspective. An increasing number of employees are seeking more sustainable and flexible transportation options, whether through hybrid working models, shared mobility solutions, or corporate mobility support schemes. For companies, this is no longer only an environmental issue, but also a matter of competitiveness.
3. Without dialogue, there is no progress.
The best solutions rarely emerge in isolation. Developing genuinely effective and viable mobility strategies requires cooperation among different stakeholders. When executives, HR professionals, sustainability experts, procurement specialists, and employees engage in open discussions about opportunities and challenges, truly forward-looking and collaborative solutions can emerge.
What Comes Next?
The “Zöld Mobilitás Café” (Green Mobility Café) event made one thing clear: there is no universal recipe that every company can simply replicate. However, there are numerous best practices and inspiring solutions worth learning from. Achieving this requires curiosity, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration.
