Vulog has identified to sustain successful car-sharing schemes, cities need a large population with high population density, high levels of private car ownership and a cooperative city administration willing to offer incentives such as free parking or access to public transport lanes for car-share vehicles.
Population density is a crucial factor for a successful car-sharing operation. Towns and cities which are densely populated are adaptable to car-sharing.
The higher the concentration of people in a small geographical area, the more likely it is they will need to take a car somewhere and the more likely it is there will be another user needing a car at the end of their journey.
Vulog, whose technology underpins Volkswagen’s WeShare, Kia’s WiBLE and PSA’s Free2Move car-sharing operations, among others, reports for every car-sharing vehicle in a city centre, between ten and 14 private vehicles are removed from city streets.
