Vehicle rental can help accelerate decarbonization but faces challenges electrifying fleets. Shared mobility services are key to increasing zero-emission vehicle usage, but rentals have operational barriers like quick turnarounds limiting charging. Certain rental segments comprising 10% of rentals may transition easier. Electrifying rental fleets faces high acquisition and operating costs, up to 40-60% more than gasoline vehicles. With incentives, policy support, and infrastructure investment, rental companies can help governments increase EV adoption sustainably.

Future of Autonomous Vehicles
With so much investment and tech development underway, many are asking where, how and when will we see self-driving cars, buses and trucks on the streets in earnest? A host of companies, cities and countries are competing and collaborating to move things forward – but is could be a decade or so before there is mass market traction. In addition, what about seaborne AV as well as drones, air-taxis and, maybe, pilotless planes?
Ahead of the launch of a detailed initial perspective in Shanghai in November this is a summary of 30 of the key issues that experts have already raised. As part of a major global open foresight programme we will be running 15 events around the world in the first half of 2019 exploring these and additional issues – building an informed, global view for all.
We have many key locations already defined, but if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting one of these events, do let us know and we can include as we work on the overall schedule.

The public transport in most of the cities are dependent on buses, auto rikshaws, cycle rikshaws which are not able to meet the demand, prone to accidents, delays & traffic jams. The cities need to create an efficient and affordable public transport services. The private sector may be invited through PPP to develop an integrated public transport system in a city. The private sector may charge an appropriate user fee (fare) from the users and earn revenue from commercial activities like advertising, renting & leasing of commercial spaces etc to cover his capital and recurring cost.

Infrastructure whether financed through traditional methods or PPPs relies on funding sources to repay financing, whether debt, equity, or a combination. All infrastructure investments ultimately depend on either user fees, government tax revenues, or a combination of both. Transport has a great impact on economic growth and poverty alleviation.
Therefore, community and political support for greater investment of government tax revenues or the imposition of user fees is critical to expanding investment in public infrastructure. The challenge is for PPPs to demonstrate overall cost savings and efficiencies that outweigh the lower-cost financing advantage of traditional procurement.
Creation of Infrastructure has economics both of scale and scope (i.e., minimum size of facilities, inelastic adjustment of capacity to demand, long term project completion, etc..

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Vehicle rental can help accelerate decarbonisation but faces
considerable cost and operational constraints
Shared mobility services, such as vehicle rental, are a key to accelerating usage and uptake of zero-emission vehicles and
sustainably decarbonising road transport
Vehicle rental has unique, customer usage-driven characteristics that present significant operational obstacles to EV
transition, but certain customer segments (representing ~10% of Enterprise rentals) could be less challenging to electrify
There are considerable cost and operational constraints to electrifying vehicle rental fleets
With the right mix of incentives, policy and funding, shared mobility service providers can help government accelerate EV
uptake in a sustainable way
The cost of acquiring and operating EVs
can be up to 40-60% higher than for
ICEVs, and vehicle availability is
expected to be constrained for the
foreseeable future
Vehicles are turned around rapidly between
rentals in order to meet customer demand
with an efficiently sized fleet, meaning that
recharging vehicles between rentals is
challenging
Shared mobility can effectively convert 'trips'
to decarbonized transit, especially where
shared mobility service use is incentivised –
shared mobility vehicle users use active and
public transport more in lieu of private vehicles
Shared fleets familiarise the general public
with EVs and can help overcome consumer
confidence obstacles to adoption, if the user
experience is positive
An Enterprise vehicle is re-rented
within 1 hour for 25% of
rentals on average
Acquiring and operating EVs can be
40-60% more
expensive than ICEVs
Pay-as-you-go shared mobility ensures that
only essential trips are taken in passenger and
goods vehicles, thus reducing overall mileage
There are significant barriers to EV use among
vehicle users: around half of consumers cite
range anxiety and lack of accessible and
appropriate public charging infrastructure in
the right places as key concerns
However, parts of public sector and corporate
fleets, and car clubs [sharing], for example,
have characteristics that make them less
challenging to electrify if governments promote
user demand and support vehicle rental
Vehicle rental users typically do not have
access to the most prevalent EV charging
model (home and office charging)

In summary, measures should…
> Encourage users/consumers to transition to EVs in a sustainable way, overcoming the blockers that
currently limit uptake
– Directly in the short term, by incentivising and supporting shared mobility users and providers
– Indirectly in the longer term, by helping shared mobility providers to give EV users as positive an
experience as possible
> Be an holistic combination of initiatives
– Measures must be joined up and point in the same direction
– Providing incentives or financial support which is then nullified, for example, with a tax malus, may
hinder progress toward policy goals
> Be more "carrot" than "stick", especially given the current headwinds facing industry
> Be well aligned with broader aspirations and timelines for emissions targets in road transport
> Precede, or supplant, burdensome mandatory transition requirements – ensuring appropriate market
conditions and infrastructure are in place will enable positive experiences and avoid negative outcomes for
consumers and businesses (and ultimately the policy goal of accelerating private EV adoption)
Editor's Notes
RB intro whole session
Many thanks for making the time to meet with us today. Much appreciated.
RB policy context and purpose
This is a critical moment for electrification!
EGD
AFID
Emissions package
SSMS – hit right notes – on shared mobility services + decarbonisation + urban but also cross-border mobility
EPDB
ERRF!
Why did we Commission the RB work – precisely because this is a watershed moment for electrification and to take a really forensic look at how electrification impacts every imaginable area dn function of the EH business – Iain will explain the methodology further in a moment
Roadmap for electrification for EH in Europe and US = globally
RB personal intro
26 years Brussels – started in EC…EP…private sector at KPMG, APCO, JCI, Google….back to APCO…5 yrs working for Enterprise Holdings…coming up to 18 months inside EHI as Head of European GPA – EU level and Corporate Markets
Full EV driver – Polestar 2
Very quick word on EHI – largest mobility company in the world – built from humble family company foundation to largest rental company in the world…building….
In EU27 – 4 EU Corporate Markets + franchisees
iMac personal intro
iMac - methodology - fine toothcomb narrative
RB lead through [+ iMac]
Start point - shared decarbonisation goals + want to make transition…looking at how to overcome the obstacles
Need to do so in partnership with Gov by which we mean EC, Member States
C-19 – ESMO status…appreciation of role VR plays in moving key services people and goods around
Recurrent theme today – the greater part of Rental is not the leisure journey from an airport or railway station (especially not at the moment (!!) but generally speaking).
Currently providing mobile vaccine support, but in course of pandemic has been medical services staff
Medical goods deliveries
Last mile deliveries
Iain will expand in a moment…
Vehicle rental companies, especially those at the leading edge of shared mobility service development like Enterprise, are well-positioned to partner with government to showcase and accelerate the uptake of clean vehicles in a manner that simultaneously meets consumer needs and is sustainable for the shared mobility sector
Transition role of VR - Rental vehicles are typically the latest model vehicles on the road, emitting fewer GHGs than the average vehicle
Convert trips to decarbonised transit – some data to share on the relative proportions of Shared mobility services vs private vehicle usage
Needs incentivisation for CV use – we’ll set out some ideas for this
Needs a mix of sticks and carrots
We see very little “everyday” consumer demand for EVs
Welcome focus – accelerated by C-19 – on Active Travel
But very few trips are 1 mode
Very few trips – especially rural to suburban to urban or suburban to urban are made without car
Democratisation of mobility and especially of clean mobility
To ensure availability, accessibility, affordability
Multi-modality
Welcome EC focus on MaaS in context of ITS revision, UMP etc.
Clean inter-city and cross-border travel….
On-demand/PAYG lends itself to “right vehicle for right use for right duration at the right cost”
Show-case/shop window” – EVs are expensive and equalisation with ICE unlikely to come for 3-4 years in best estimates….
Rental is a great way to try without the up-front investment
Experience = good = greater likelihood of uptake
Bad experience….
We’ll dive into the key consumer confidence/use issues and how to overcome
We think we can be a good resource to Governments on overcoming uptake issues
