THE IMPACT OF
CARSHARINGBut: Is free-floating carsharing doing the
same ?
Study:
•Long term panel study (2013-2017)
•3 German cities: Stuttgart, Frankfurt a.M., Cologne
•Free-floating only (car2go)
Results:
•Increase in car stock (3% - 15 %)
•1 carsharing car replaces 0,3 – 0,8 private cars
•Use of public transport decreases in favour of private car and carsharing

• Stand-alone free-floating = no impact but grows rapidly
• Roundtrip = positive impact but grows slowly
• Free-floating + roundtrip = positive impact
• City authorities need to regulate and promote variants
according to impact on mobility behaviour
