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.
