Car-sharing has a lot to do with reducing air pollution, congestion and lack of parking spaces. Every person driving on the roads of the cities and towns is well aware of the pain.

Every car-sharing vehicle substitutes around ten to twelve private cars in the mega cities, which gives more space for living. If we talk about Berlin, over 11,000 sqm of parking area is freed up, in Munich, it is above 5,700 square metres.
Additionally, less eco-friendly and older cars can be swapped with new electric cars and low-emission cars. Vehicles that are used for car sharing purposes, emit lower amount of Carbon Dioxide than an average car in Germany.
