“car2go has a unique growth story,” said Olivier Reppert, global CEO of car2go. “car2go was first to market with free-floating car-sharing in 2009, and since then we have been able to captivate more people in more cities. We plan to continue this growth story consistently.”

Every 1.5 seconds, one of car2go’s 14,000 vehicles worldwide takes a car2go member where they need to go.
