Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Welcome to our first "Global Carsharing Update". Carsharing is a growing business with presence in all continents. It brings together a global community of users, operators and suppliers who share a final objective: to make our cities more livable and sustainable by following the sharing philosophy.

Let’s make carsharing stronger and larger together. We just need to connect, learn from each other’s experiences and make ourselves heard. If you are an operator, please join our online survey.

Scroll down and find out what our colleagues in South America are up to, which services are now available in Barcelona or who invested in a brand new EV system in Japan.

Please use the subscription form on the Shared Mobility website to receive our monthly newsletter.

Best regards,
Dr. Bodo Schwieger
