Car2go starts public test phase

could in the last 5 months to test the Daimler and EvoBus staff, this pilot project Car2go. In the words of those responsible for this was a complete success. First, use 500 employees and 200 members of the free Daimler Registration in February EvoBus staff, the number increased to over 1000 registered participants.

In the 5 months of 8000 runs were done, it was a single vehicle drove up to 8 times by different participants. At peak times, even the entire fleet was busy.

As far as the public figures.

The first classification compared to a few car-sharing ratios: By January 14 participants per car, from February 10th well This is far below the usual car-sharing. The number of trips is 26 per car per month left in the normal range, 8 trips per person in 5 months is slightly above average.

But a really good Impression would get if one knew how long (in miles and / or hours), the rides were. For only the structure of the trips answered the key questions as: What kind of trips
replaced by Car2go? Feel
bus and train, car rental or taxi Car2go?
Does the price on a waste of time "Km-top rotation"?
Abolish Car2go participant for their private passenger cars?
otherwise modified by Car2go travel behavior?

So one can only speculate ... Assuming that the vast majority of the trips were short one-way trips, an average journey time of 1-2 hours would be realistic. The resulting utilization of 5% leads then together with the statement that all vehicles were temporarily posted to the assumption that there are very massive hot spot in the utilization or was. Since Car2go, as mentioned in the interview, was used more often to go to work, this image should not be unrealistic. This would be very different than usual for car sharing.

It will be interesting, as the project develops further.

Ear Piercing And Seizure

Flink Rochester in reality arrived

announced in the autumn at the start of the German Railway Flink Most . This week's offer began in Stuttgart.

The Flink emphasized near Rochester and Call-a-bike in the announcement in November, led by experts on the expectation that Flink Most new elements of call-a-bike (stationslos and / or one-way) to introduce car sharing. Flink Rochester was so often mentioned in relation to car2go of Daimler. It is now clear that Flink Rochester comes along much like the "classic" car-sharing: access station based and without instant, without one-way.

The power station should also have a new quality: a dense network of stations in the center near the city. In Stuttgart Flink Most of the announcement is still a long way, here the "classic city of the mobile network much better. In Cologne, we have succeeded significantly better, perhaps because to the team with many years of car-sharing experience Cologne care. So also the network is not really news.

But the type of vehicle is for the new car sharing: Alfa Romeo MiTo. Chic and sporty, but in many ways, but not as convenient and comes back seat and trunk too much crowded. The future will show whether the MiTo turns out to be the more popular car-sharing vehicle. Doubt, but certainly not without foundation.

is unique not entirely new but the current rate: 1.50 € per hour, 25 cents per km. Simple and attractive at first glance. So it's worth a collective comparison of Flink windows and the two providers in Stuttgart and Cologne:

providers Tariff	Short drive (2 hours, 17 km)	Mid-length trip (8 hours, 77 km)	day trip (24 hours, 149 km)	week, (7 days, 749 km)
Flink Most	€ 7.25 € 31.25		€ 73.25 € 434.25
Stadtmobil S Classic / Mini Studi	€ 5.66 € 24.26		€ 45.84	€ 236.84
City Mobile Mini S VVS	€ 6.40	€ 27.40 € 52.84		€ 253.84
cambio comfort vehicle class 1	€ 6.06 € 25.86		€ 43.35 € 208.35
cambio Active Vehicle Class 1	6.97	€ € 29.77 € 49.33		€ 234.33
cambio launch vehicle class 1	€ 8.73 € 37.53		€ 60.31 € 265.31

The table shows that the fares of Flink Most are usually well above the car-sharing rates, for day and multi-day trips will Flink Ster even really expensive. So if you regularly (auto) will be mobile, runs on the standard fare of Flink Most relatively expensive and at a high excess of 1000 €. With the savings package and security package, you can change that. But that is probably linked to 30 € (!) Monthly fee (instead of 3-10 EUR for most "normal" car-sharing rates). Why probably? Whether the 20 EUR of the austerity package will be counted as travel accounts, you can not clear from the website, for on the cost side, there are clearly contradictory to Statements.


short Flink Rochester is so modern, but on closer inspection there is no real innovation, and only seems attractively priced. Thus, Flink Most especially a clever marketing concept, which still has to prove whether it can convince the customer permanently.
