3、48 in Switzerland,with faster growth starting in the 1970s.The market has expanded further in the last two decades,driven by restrictions on city center private car use,advanced digital technologies,and shifting consumer attitudes around car ownership.However,it remains a relatively small market,acc
4、ounting for less than 5%of the US$100 billion global shared mobility market.Car-sharing schemes have faced a number of challenges,both for operators looking to build economically viable,scalable businesses as well as for authorities tasked with regulating them within and the overall mobility system.
5、Looking ahead,car sharing has a key role to play in the integrated mobility system,in large part driven by increasing demand for sustainability and convenience.This Report explores the benefits and pitfalls of car sharing and describes strategies for success for both regulators and operators.BENEFIT
6、S&PITFALLSCar sharing has the potential to come into its own as a critical part of future mobility systems,alongside fixed route public transport(buses,trains,metros),on-demand public transport(ride hailing,ride sharing),micromobility(bikes and scooters),and deliveries and services(logistics,courier
7、s).Indeed,a properly framed car-sharing scheme offers three main benefits.First,it improves the overall performance of the mobility system by enhancing connectivity,increasing access,and increasing system capacity.Second,it contributes to better sustainability and safety by significantly reducing th
8、e number of privately owned cars.Third,it offers the convenience of a private vehicle for users picking up goods,trip chaining,1 or traveling out of town.1 Trip chaining is a travel pattern involving multiple small,interconnected trips.E XECUTIVE SUMMARYARTHUR D.LITTLE3However,when car sharing is no
9、t properly framed into the overall mobility system,there are some pitfalls.For example,free-floating schemes(those without fixed parking stations)may encourage users to choose cars over mass-transport modes.There may also be cleanliness/condition issues from improperly maintained vehicles and some s
10、tationary vehicle nuisance issues(although less so than bikes and scooters).IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES Cities and transport authorities have struggled to regulate car sharing for two main reasons.First,regulation has often been overly restrictive,focused on limiting the schemes impact,rather than col
11、laborating with operators to maximize overall mobility system benefits.In some cases(e.g.,Car2Go in Toronto),limitations on area access and parking led to operators exiting the market altogether.Second,inadequate coordination between authorities across jurisdictional boundaries has often led to inco
12、nsistencies that confuse users.The key challenge for operators is the business model.Many struggled to achieve profitability due to high operating costs,poor coordination with competitors,narrow focus(e.g.,premium niches or B2B customers requiring costly customization),unfavorable revenue-sharing mo
13、dels with municipalities,and/or lack of collaboration with vehicle OEMs.Finally,inadequate parking arrangements with authorities have depressed customer uptake,as have delays in essential upgrades for operators relying entirely on third parties for their digital platforms.4REPORT:SHARING IN SUCCESS
14、STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSSuccess in this market requires evolving car-sharing schemes beyond the traditional and OEM-led models.Future schemes must integrate better with the broader shared-mobility system and place services in locations where they add the most value.We refer to this as the“ecosystem pl
15、ayer stage.”Key features include designing the system around simplifying mobility for the user,using car sharing as a complement to the public transport backbone in both city centers and outskirts(including possibly providing subsidies for trips that are less profitable but benefit the overall syste
16、m),and designing the system to suit as many consumers as possible(low/middle rather than premium).For city authorities,this translates into seven imperatives:1.Find the right balance between“framing”(i.e.,regulations aimed at exercising control over service and performance levels)and“enabling”(i.e.t
17、aking actions that set the right conditions,incentives,and governance to encourage development of car-sharing services benefiting the mobility systems as a whole).2.Regulate to manage demand.This could be done by subsidizing particular car-sharing routes,instituting parking charge exemptions,and/or
18、congestion charging.3.Integrate physical infrastructure.This could transpire by colocating car-sharing stations with train,bus,and/or metro stations.4.Foster innovation,collaboration,and standardization.This can occur through collaboration forums;setting minimum requirements for data sharing;establi
19、shing suitable IT infrastructure standards;and encouraging product standardization,system integration,and accessibility.ARTHUR D.LITTLE55.Exploit synergies with electric vehicle(EV)growth.This includes integrating car sharing into EV charging infrastructure provision plans.6.Consider public/private
20、partnerships.This is especially helpful with regard to overall system integration and demand management.7.Adopt a test-and-learn approach to regulation.Trials and pilots,provided they are not too short,are a good way to shape requirements and create a more balanced market with a diverse set of playe
21、rs.For operators,we identify five imperatives:1.Be customer-centric and act local,creating tailored schemes driven by customer needs.2.Be willing to collaborate and share data.Data sharing is critically important to integrated mobility ecosystems.Operators should be prepared to accept“win-win”data-s
22、haring solutions that benefit multiple partners.3.Innovate continuously.Constantly search for opportunities to grow scale and margin,including partnerships.4.Focus on the broadest customer population.Careful customer segmentation and profiling are essential to creating customer-centric offerings.5.A
23、dopt a system-wide perspective.Operators must look beyond their piece of the market and seek opportunities to become an integral part of the overall mobility system.As the shift away from car ownership continues and new mobility models become better integrated into the overall mobility system,car sh
24、aring has the potential to deliver major benefits to both customers and transport authorities.Looking further ahead,as autonomous vehicles(AVs)and robotaxis become more mainstream,we can expect car sharing to converge with ride sharing.6REPORT:SHARING IN SUCCESS ARTHUR D.LITTLE71.CAR SHARING:A P OSI
25、TIVE CONTRIBUTION TO MOBILIT Y SYSTEMS?Car sharing is a component of the mobility offering in many major cities today,with a global market of about$3 billion and a predicted forecast of 20%CAGR over the next decade.More than 250 operators provide services in around 3,000 cities,about 30%of the world
26、s total.Its nevertheless a relatively small part of the approximately$100 billion overall shared mobility market:less than 5%of the total.The first recorded implementation of a car-sharing scheme was in Zrich in 1948(known as the Selbstfahrergenossenschaft scheme).Further development of cooperative
27、schemes took place in the 1970s and 1980s,mainly in Switzerland and Germany,although also in other countries on a smaller scale.Growth has accelerated in the last two decades,driven by rising traffic congestion,restrictions on private cars in city centers,digital technologies like mobile apps,and a
28、gradual shift away from a desire for individual car ownership,especially among younger adults.As post-pandemic pressure to develop and improve urban mobility systems continues,car sharing has a vital role to play,both in reducing private car journeys and as a complement to public transport systems.H
29、owever,integrating car sharing within the mobility system has proven challenging for cities and transport authorities.From an operators perspective,car sharing has not been without its hurdles.Although analysts expect double-digit market growth per annum in the coming years(driven by increased consu
30、mer willingness to use shared modes and a regulatory push to steer people away from private cars),the financial business case for traditional(i.e.,asset-heavy)car sharing is uncertain.Many new ventures struggled for profitability,including Share Now,a 2019 joint venture between Daimler and BMW that
31、combined their car-sharing services(Car2Go and DriveNow,respectively).Following the formation of the joint venture,Share Now pulled out of North American and British markets.Three years later,after losing 123 million in 2020 and 70 million in 2021,Daimler and BMW pulled out altogether,selling the bu
32、siness to Stellantis,operator of Free2move.What is car sharing?Car sharing involves hiring a car by the hour or minute.It is self-service,so customers dont have to make reservations,adhere to a fixed schedule,or be limited to only a few pickup and drop-off points.Unlike ride-hailing services(Uber/Ly
33、ft or traditional taxis),the customer has full control and use of the vehicle for the rental period,allowing for multiple journeys if that is what the customer desires.Car sharing can be fleet-based(vehicles owned by the car-sharing company)or peer-to-peer(vehicles owned by private individuals,with
34、a car-sharing company facilitating the process,usually by providing a mobile app).As with bike and e-scooter sharing,car sharing may use predetermined parking lots or stations or be free-floating(vehicles can be left anywhere within a defined area,subject to normal parking restrictions).Car-sharing
35、schemes are usually commercial businesses,although some are run by a public agency.Car sharing is distinct from carpooling,in which neighbors or friends agree to share seat space in a private vehicle without charge.8REPORT:SHARING IN SUCCESS ARTHUR D.LITTLEThis Report explores the drivers,benefits,p
36、itfalls,and strategies for success for car sharing,drawing on lessons learned from across the world.We draw conclusions for both transport authorities and operators on how,using the right ecosystem-based approach,car sharing can achieve its full potential as an essential part of the mobility system.
37、THE SHIFT AWAY FROM CAR OWNERSHIPSeveral trends are shifting users away from private car ownership toward use-based mobility models such as car sharing;these are likely to increase over the coming years (see Figure 1).We see from Figure 1 that urbanization is expected to increase significantly in th
38、e next few decades,bringing with it increased traffic congestion in the absence of improved urban mobility strategies and policies.Environmental pollution therefore has become an existential threat,causing many users to shift to EVs or avoid car ownership altogether.Digitalization will continue to c
39、hange the way we interact as human beings,both socially and in a business context.Although we can envisage increased use of virtual and augmented reality for leisure,social,and commercial activities,it is unclear to what extent virtualization will affect mobility demand in the long term.Whats clear
40、is that increased connectivity and usability of digital technology acts as a strong driver toward participating in the sharing economy,including shared mobility solutions.We can predict with some confidence that the range and flexibility of mobility offers will grow in the coming years,with increasi
41、ng degrees of convergence between them.Leasing rates are likely to rise,converging with car-rental and car-subscription models as short-term leases become more available.Car subscription,in which a car is provided for a month or several months with all costs and services included except fuel,is a ra
42、pidly growing model.Traditional car rentals(less than a month)will continue,but some of this market share will start to move to car subscription and car sharing.Car sharing and car subscription are increasingly converging into“car-as-a-service”(CaaS)offerings that center on flexibility and choice in
43、 terms of contract type and duration,vehicle model,and vehicle availability.Although they have encountered more barriers and difficulties than envisaged five to 10 years ago,as illustrated by the 2023 Cruise-based robotaxi deployment in San Francisco and Dubai,AVs will also impact the future of car
44、sharing.They will be deployed initially in urban areas as robotaxis or on specific routes,such as to and from airports,but will eventually accelerate a mindset shift away from car ownership by stimulating demand for car-sharing models,including nonautonomous conventional vehicles.Figure 1.Drivers of

50、roving performance of mobility systemProperly regulated,operated,and integrated with the wider mobility system,car sharing has the potential to deliver a range of performance benefits to cities and transportation authorities:-Better land use.Car sharing reduces the number of cars in city centers by
51、reducing the number of privately owned cars by as much as 20 x.2 This frees up urban space for things like green spaces,residential units,and commercial properties.-Improved access.Car sharing contributes to improving accessibility to areas of cities not well served by public transport.In 2021,the U
52、K Car Club reported that 55%of car-sharing members said membership provided access to places that wouldnt be otherwise accessible.-Better mobility flows.Alongside other offerings,car sharing can help optimize mobility flows across the system,improving access to public transport hubs.This is especial
53、ly true when mobility data is shared with the broader mobility system(see Figure 3).-Increased system capacity.Car sharing helps cities accommodate mobility demand increases without adding to congestion.Contributing to better sustainability&safetyCar sharing provides several safety and environmental
54、 benefits:-Reduced emissions,noise,and road surface use.By reducing overall number of cars,car sharing lowers tailpipe emissions and road noise.Studies suggest that one shared car can replace up to 20 private vehicles parked on city streets.3 Currently,shared cars are more often electric than privat
55、ely owned cars.-Reduced environmental impact from new car manufacture.Fewer cars means less environmental impact from new car manufacture.Figure 2.Future mobility ecosystemPT=public transportationSource:Arthur D.LittlePT=public transportationSource:Arthur D.LittleFigure 2.Future mobility ecosystemOn

58、 vehicles.Car-sharing schemes are increasingly based on electric,hybrid,and other more sustainable vehicles,providing an advantage over private cars.Moreover,car-sharing vehicles are,on average,much newer than privately owned vehicles(most are less than five years old).In 2021 in the UK,car-sharing
59、vehicles averaged 27%less emissions than privately held vehicles.-Better safety and health.Fewer cars translates into lower adverse health effects on residents from vehicle emissions,as well as better road safety.Newer vehicles have better safety features than older vehicles.Simplifying customers li
60、ves-Lower cost versus car ownership for some.For some people,4 car sharing is less expensive than car ownership.Typical annual tax,fuel,and insurance costs for a non-hybrid car range from$2,000 to$2,500.Lease payments are usually an additional$3,000 to$5,000,for a total of$5,000 to$7,500.Typical car
61、 share rates are$2 to$10 per hour and$75 to$120 per day.For users who live in city centers,do not incur high annual mileage(i.e.,between 6,000-10,000 km per year),and who would have additional ownership costs such as parking,car sharing can be less expensive than owning.In the 2021 UK Car Club surve
62、y,73%of members reported savings versus private car ownership.Of course,this may not be the case for users outside city centers.-More convenient than other public mobility modes.Car-sharing schemes offer users the convenience of short-term car rental without the need to prebook or fill out forms.Pic
63、kup and drop-off locations are typically flexible to better suit user needs.Car sharing is more private than ride sharing,eliminates user dependence on another driver,and gives users control over the combination of trips and tasks they wish to complete.Car sharing is also more convenient than both p
64、ublic transport and ride sharing for users who need to pick up bulky items and/or make multiple trips.4 In addition to varying between user types,the economics of car sharing versus ownership vary between markets,based on issues such as taxes and incentives.CAR-SHARING PITFALLS Notwithstanding the s
65、ignificant potential benefits,if car sharing is not properly framed and integrated into the overall mobility system,it can have unintended consequences that detract from overall system performance.These include:-Reduced mass transit use.In some city centers,car sharing encourages car usage over mass
66、 transport choices like metro,trams,and buses.This phenomenon has mainly been observed in free-floating car-sharing systems.The pandemic reduced mass transport ridership in many cities.Despite partial recovery since then,many public transport systems are experiencing funding difficulties that car sh
67、aring could contribute to.-Stationary vehicle nuisance.Unused and parked car share vehicles,together with other mobility devices such as bikes and scooters,can cause a nuisance if not well managed.For example,in free-floating schemes,they may be left in clusters that take up large blocks of parking
68、space or end up in unsafe or restricted areas,especially in neighborhoods with limited parking spaces.In general,cars are generally less likely to cause a nuisance than micromobility devices(e-bikes and scooters).-Cleanliness and user behavior issues.Car share vehicles may be treated with less care
69、by users than private vehicles would be by their owners,leading to cleanliness issues if the vehicles are not frequently inspected and maintained.Drivers may not be used to the control and operation of the car they receive,which could lead to driving errors.1 12.STR ATEGIES FOR SUCCESS3 STAGES OF EV
70、OLUTION In 2014,Arthur D.Little(ADL)and the International Association of Public Transport(UITP)published“The Future of Urban Mobility 2.0”study,which described three stages of evolution:eco-focused traditionalists,OEM-driven players,and a third stage in which car sharing became a mass-market offerin
71、g within an integrated mobility system.5 Today,we can now be more certain and specific about the third stage,which we now refer to as“ecosystem players”(see Figure 4).There are existing operators in all three stages:1.Eco-focused traditionalists.These are often the earliest operators.They usually op
72、erate a station-based service,and target customers are often driven by an interest in sustainability.For example,Greenwheels focuses on reducing the number of cars on the street,energy efficiency,and safety.Zipcar is another large provider in this category.Generally,customer-facing processes are les
73、s sophisticated in this category.5 Van Audenhove,Franois-Joseph,et al.“The Future of Urban Mobility 2.0 Imperatives to Shape Extended Mobility Ecosystems of Tomorrow.”Arthur D.Little/UITP,January 2014.2.OEM-driven players.These represent the next stage of evolution and usually operate free-floating
74、services with user-friendly mobile apps that demonstrate varying degrees of innovation.Prominent examples include Car2Go and DriveNow.3.Ecosystem players.These are characterized by being well integrated with the broader shared mobility system car-sharing services are offered in locations and contrib
75、uting to use cases where they add the most value.Services may be privately operated,but subsidies are applied where they benefit the mobility system as a whole.Operators may blend or combine models based on user needs and locations.This model has the greatest potential to reap the benefits of car sh
76、aring.The next two sections look closely at the limitations of current models and explore how ecosystem players can overcome them.Figure 4.The evolution of car-sharing business modelsSource:Arthur D.Little Future of Mobility LabSource:Arthur D.Little Future of Mobility LabFigure 4.The evolution of c

80、lengesThe struggles cities and transport authorities face in regulating car sharing fall into two main categories:(1)overly restrictive regulation and(2)lack of coordination across jurisdictional boundaries.1.Overly restrictive regulation Regulators sometimes view car sharing as a for-profit industr
81、y that provides additional mobility mode for users but is not a fully integrated part of the mobility ecosystem.As such,regulation focuses on restricting its impact,rather than encouraging its development and implementation in a way that maximizes overall mobility system benefits.For example,in San
82、Francisco,restrictive parking regulations forced BMWs DriveNow to pull out of the city.Similarly,Car2Gos 2018 car-sharing pilot was banned in 95%of Torontos residential areas.Local councils,which were responsible for the remaining 5%of residential areas,were allowed to ban Car2Go if they desired.Lat
83、e in 2018,Car2Go,which claimed 80,000 users at the time,exited the market,citing parking fees and restrictions that made its service“inoperable.”Car sharing is still at an early stage in Singapore,but so far,car-sharing players face significant challenges,including high taxes on vehicle ownership,in
84、sufficient visible public-parking locations allocated for car sharing,insufficient promotion,and lack of integration with public transport.Governments tend to set restrictions in a top-down fashion without adequate consultation with mobility service providers,users,or potentially affected businesses
85、,leading to misunderstandings about how car-sharing schemes work.In Toronto,regulations were changed to shift from allocated parking lots to free-floating lots without adjusting for additional parking demand.This led to Car2Go racking up more than CAD$730,000 in parking fines.2.Lack of coordination
86、across jurisdictional boundariesInadequate standards coordination between stakeholders in the mobility ecosystem can impact the overall effectiveness of car-sharing schemes.For example,there has long been a problem with lack of coordination between London boroughs around car sharing,leading to incon
87、sistencies in rules regarding free-floating parking.This negatively impacted user experiences and caused difficulties for service providers operating across the city.Operational shortcomings There are several common problems faced by car-sharing operators,including:(1)unsustainable business models,(
88、2)unfavorable parking arrangements,and(3)lack of control over technology.1.Unsustainable business modelsThe main reasons car-sharing operators have struggled to achieve profitability are:-Lack of product/customer fit.Often,demand issues are due to a lack of accessibility driven by an insufficient nu
89、mber of vehicles deployed.Some operators focused too heavily on specific niches(e.g.,premium vehicles)before building sufficient volume,leading to low utilization rates.-Low-yield models.Low vehicle-utilization rates and low prices(reflecting current users willingness to pay,which is not much higher
90、 than for micromobility)mean many car-sharing operations can only generate low yields given the high operational costs involved(e.g.,maintenance,insurance,parking).-Fractured market.Too many competitors with comparable products have operated in parallel silos in direct competition,without cross-usab
91、ility or consideration of the mutual benefits of network effects.This has led to lower-than-planned use levels and difficulties scaling up.-Unsustainable revenue-share model with municipalities.Some municipalities have a revenue-share model for car-sharing services,increasing pressure on profitabili
92、ty.1 3-Labor-intensive B2B model.Some operators developed a B2B business model that focused heavily on labor-intensive customization,driving up costs.-Failure to successfully partner with OEMs.Most car-sharing operators have not found a way to collaborate with OEMs.Partnership agreements between car
93、-sharing operators and OEMs could yield mutual benefits and create a more profitable ecosystem.There are examples of profitable car-sharing operations.Often,these are local solutions limited in size and driven by differentiated use cases and/or business models.It is also worth mentioning asset-light
94、 models such as peer-to-peer,business-to-employee,and business-to-tenant models in which vehicles are owned by individuals or employers,as well as schemes subsidized by local/regional authorities(e.g.,Citiz in France).2.Unfavorable parking arrangementsAdequate parking arrangements are critical to ca
95、r-sharing schemes.Some countries or regions dont allow free-floating car sharing,and suitable parking policies have not been defined in others.Several operators faced challenges due to limitations placed on their free-floating models;others experienced arbitrary bans to unclear regulations.Successfu
96、l operations depend on making adequate parking arrangements with relevant authorities.3.Lack of control over technology Operators must be digitally enabled from the start to have a viable car-sharing operation.Operators wholly reliant on third parties for system development encounter delays in makin
97、g important changes to operating models as they learn more about the market.With the broader availability of third-party car-sharing operating software,the choice of provider is critical to the ability to scale the business across regions(e.g.,to form interregional or multinational alliances).EMERGE
98、NCE OF THE ECOSYSTEM PLAYThe ecosystem approach is the most evolved car-sharing model.In Figure 5,we see how its primary features compare to other models.In the ecosystem approach,car sharing is fully integrated with,and a contributor to,the overall mobility system.Its designed to be user-centric an
99、d integrate with public transport via these key features:-Designed to simplify user mobility.The ecosystem model centers the mobility system around the user.For example,public transport may meet the needs of a work commute while micromobility is used for short distances around town,and car-sharing f
100、acilitates picking up larger items,doing multiple errands in two or more neighborhoods,and/or heading out of town with friends.Figure 5.Primary features of ecosystem approach compared to other modelsPPP=public-private partnership,B2A=business to anyone(including governments)Source:Arthur D.LittlePPP

104、r shared individual mobility modes such as micromobility and on-demand)act as a complement or feeder to the public transport backbone rather than a substitute for it.Examples include Flex in Luxembourg,where car-sharing stations are colocated with railway stations(see case study“Flex in Luxembourg”)
105、.-For city outskirts and rural areas.For trips outside city centers,car sharing can be an effective complement to public transport.City outskirts and rural areas have lower population densities and are less well served by public transport,so new mobility modes like car sharing improve individual con
106、venience.Because car-sharing vehicles are more highly utilized than private vehicles,they still deliver a sustainability advantage.Furthermore,promoting car-sharing solutions for trips in rural areas can deliver a positive business case for regional authorities.This is not about generating profitabl
107、e revenue streams from the car-sharing operation,its about cost savings if better accessibility can be provided than with public transport at a lower cost.-Selective public funding.When car sharing is properly integrated as part of the mobility system,public funding can have a place alongside privat
108、e funding.For example,the system as a whole can benefit from car sharing on the outskirts,rather than in city centers where public transport is already in place.However,trips in these areas are often less commercially attractive for the operator than city center trips.Subsidization of such trips,tog
109、ether with suitable policies to regulate city center trip volumes,can help car sharing benefit the mobility system as a whole.-Low/middle segment fleet offer.From an overall system viewpoint,car sharing should be accessible to as many passengers as possible.Thus,the offer should focus on low/middle
110、and utility segments rather than the premium segment.In essence,the ecosystem approach seeks to align car sharing such that it improves mobility system performance and sustainability while enabling viable commercial operation.Below,we look at what this means for authorities and operators.Case Study:
111、Flex in Luxembourg-Population of Luxembourg:0.64 million-Cars per household:1.97-Car-sharing penetration:0.16 to 0.32 car share vehicles per 1,000 residentsFlex operates 43 stations across 15 municipalities,with some car stations located at train stations.It was founded in 2018 and has 100+vehicles
112、with 10,000+users.It offers a range of vehicles,including EVs Skoda Enyaq and Mini Electric.Its tariff is based on time and distance,with an optional subscription fee.StrengthsFlex is a good example of a car-sharing operation closely integrated with the broader mobility system.Flex is wholly owned b
113、y the Luxembourg National Railway CFL,which means colocation of car sharing at railway stations is seamless.Flex offers car shares mainly to low-density communities,complementing a second car-sharing operator,Carloh,which is managed by the City of Luxembourg and covers the city center.In these low-d
114、ensity communities,the municipality itself is the anchor user.Flex was also an early investor in the cargo vehicle category.Limitations The regulatory framework initially imposed on Flex did not allow municipalities to permit car sharing on-street,but this is being revised.The revenue-share model fo
115、r the municipal partners was unsustainable.Finally,the business model for Flex was built out from a B2B model that was heavily customized,resulting in a labor-intensive process.Key takeaways-Support for colocation of car-sharing stations with public transport infrastructure is important to success.-
116、Most car-sharing companies are not yet profitable,so implementing an overly aggressive revenue-share model can hurt their long-term viability.1 58 IMPERATIVES FOR CITY AUTHORITIESTo create an ecosystem model that supports car sharing,city authorities and regulators should consider eight regulatory i
117、mperatives.1.Find the right balance between framing&enabling Cites and transport authorities have a wide range of parameters to consider in regulating car sharing(see Figure 6).These parameters can be split conveniently into three categories:1.Entry and expansion.This involves setting basic requirem
118、ents operators must meet regarding vehicles,fleet size,and provisions for drivers/users.This should be based on the overarching objectives of the city,avoiding overly restrictive rules wherever possible.2.Operations.This is the most complex category,covering issues such as parking,pricing(e.g.,guida
119、nce on equitable access to low-income users),safety,and infrastructure.How these issues are addressed can have a profound impact on the viability of the car-sharing operation.As with entry and expansion requirements,overly restrictive rules should be avoided.3.Monitoring.This involves setting requir
120、ements for how operations will be monitored and controlled,including what data must be reported for regulatory purposes and how it should be shared for effective mobility system management,including other ecosystem players and authorities.It should be incented using suitable KPIs.Car sharing:First m
121、ile&last mile to public transport?In examining trips within cities,we observed that the percentage of intermodal trips(a single journey that combines public transport with other modes,excluding walking,as part of the same journey)currently represents less than 5%of all trips,and most of those trips
122、include a micromobility rental.Recently,several micromobility providers reported that more than 25%of their trips were intermodal with public transport.For instance,in 2023,micromobility company Dott reported 43%of intermodal trips with public transport in Brussels.On the other hand,it appears that
123、intermodal use cases for car-sharing solutions as the first and last mile to public transport have been limited within cities,except for large cities and cities with limited public transport coverage.However,there appear to be other use cases for car-sharing solutions in conjunction with public tran
124、sport to support a“multimodal life,”which involves using different modes/services for different journeys,both within and outside cities.In an ecosystem play,the ability to use car sharing for some trips and other shared modes(public transport,micromobility,and on-demand mobility)for others gives cit
125、izens an attractive set of options that improves the overall attractiveness of the shared mobility system as an alternative to usage of individual car by default for all trips.Figure 6.Parameters for car-sharing regulation Source:Arthur D.Little Future of Mobility LabSource:Arthur D.Little Future of

127、ions1 6REPORT:SHARING IN SUCCESS ARTHUR D.LITTLETransport authorities should strike the right balance between“framing”and“enabling”:-Framing develop the right regulations aimed at exercising control over car-sharing schemes(e.g.,service and performance levels,safety,resilience and environmental requ
128、irements,pricing).-Enabling consider regulatory as well as non-regulatory actions that set the right conditions,incentives,and governance to encourage development of car-sharing services benefiting the mobility systems as a whole.Inevitably,there are trade-offs between the various parameters and mea
129、sures.For example,when setting parking requirements for car sharing,safety,security,environmental,and land-use concerns must be balanced with the financial viability of mobility operators and spin-off impacts for commercial businesses.All this must be done while remembering that a level playing fiel
130、d needs to be created to encourage competition.In general,cities and transport authorities have focused more on framing than enabling,and an ecosystem-based approach requires more attention to the latter.In striking a regulatory balance,the needs of the user/customer must be at the heart of all cons
131、iderations.2.Regulate to manage car-sharing demandMobility demand management measures for car sharing are important for optimizing the performance of the mobility system as a whole.As mentioned,when properly designed,car-sharing schemes can be a great complement to other mobility offerings in city c
132、enters and improve connectivity in city outskirts and rural areas,improving the overall attractiveness on the shared mobility system and providing an alternative to the use of private cars by default.Subsidies may be necessary to make servicing low-density areas commercially viable for the operator.
133、Conversely,in some city centers,there may be a need to limit car sharing to avoid encouraging congestion and displacing mass transit ridership.Demand management can also take the form of exemptions from parking,congestion,and/or toll charges(or discounts),helping to make car sharing more appealing t
134、han individual ownership.3.Integrate physical infrastructure Infrastructure can help improve integration of various mobility solutions.For example,it can facilitate car-sharing stations being colocated with train,bus,or metro stations(refer back to case study“Flex in Luxembourg”).This is an excellen
135、t way to maximize car-sharing benefits.4.Foster innovation,collaboration&standardizationFostering close collaboration between new mobility service providers and public transport operators and authorities is important to help car share operations add value at the mobility system level.Authorities can
136、 help foster collaboration and innovation at the mobility system level through a range of measures:-Sponsoring and facilitating collaboration forums,such as topic-based workshops,physical collaboration spaces,or best-practice sharing meetings.This can include promotion of better product localization
137、 to meet specific stakeholder needs.-Setting minimum requirements for data sharing across system partners.Data sharing is the essential“fuel”for running a integrated mobility system,and car sharing should be no exception.-Establishing suitable common IT infrastructure,processes,and standards to enab
138、le practical data sharing.-Imposing a base level of product standardization,system integration,and accessibility.5.Avoid overly restrictive regulationCar-sharing schemes must achieve scale to be financially viable.Authorities and regulators should avoid restrictive regulations that dampen demand to
139、the point that scaling becomes impossible.6.Exploit synergies with EV growthAuthorities should integrate the needs of car-sharing schemes into strategies for boosting penetration and adoption of EVs,especially provision of EV charging infrastructure,which is typically the primary bottleneck for the
140、electrification of car sharing.1 77.Consider public/private partnerships Whether primarily backed by public or private capital,car-sharing schemes can benefit from the involvement of public parties such as cities and transport authorities.This involvement can ensure good integration of the overall m
141、obility system,especially when it comes to demand management.This includes evaluating direct or indirect forms of subsidies(e.g.,access to parking,financial contribution according to metrics such as trip length,start/end in specific neighborhoods at specific times),especially taking into considerati
142、on that in many economies,the most heavily subsidized mode of transport,considered holistically,is the privately owned car.8.Adopt a test-and-learn approach Experience shows that the most effective regulation follows a test-and-learn approach(see Figure 7).Fixed approaches to regulation,whether ligh
143、t or prescriptive,have drawbacks.Light approaches can lead to a mobility market that is not as efficient as it could be and is difficult to control due to lack of data and effective enforcement levers.This often leads to market domination by larger players,who can absorb the most risk.Prescriptive a
144、pproaches tend to have higher barriers to entry,high operating costs,less competition,and less innovation,although they protect the incumbents.In between these extremes,a test-and-learn approach can deliver multiple benefits.Trials and pilots are an effective way to shape requirements in terms of en
145、try,expansion,operations,and exit.However,short trials(less than three years)tend to be impractical due to the capital investment needed.Ideally,regulators should set conditions to encourage self-learning.In return for sharing more data,operators can benefit from the enabling measures described abov
146、e.Done correctly,a test-and-learn approach leads to a more balanced market with a diverse set of players that balances the interests of all the actors in the system.Cooperation between players leads to closer integration and even consolidation,in most cases improving the attractiveness of the mobili
147、ty offer and facilitating user adoption.This ideally results in predefined,close,consistent feedback loops and activities between regulators and operators.A good example of this approach is the way Vancouver cooperated with mobility operator Evo to help build an attractive,customer-centric offer(see
148、 case study“Evo in Vancouver”).Figure 7.Benefits of a test-and-learn approach to regulationSource:Arthur D.Little Future of Mobility LabSource:Arthur D.Little Future of Mobility LabFigure 7.Benefits of a test-and-learn approach to regulationEntry/expansionOperations/exitData&monitoringMarket dynamic

153、er-centric&act localWith the active support of authorities,operators need to create customer-centric car-sharing schemes.This means avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach in favor of tailoring offerings to suit a variety of customer segments and behaviors.Customer needs differ greatly from city to ci
154、ty and from neighborhood to neighborhood within the same city,requiring careful analysis.Operators should carefully research the most attractive customer use cases and build communities of customers around these,as did Evo in Vancouver(see,again,case study“Evo in Vancouver”).2.Be willing to collabor
155、ate&share dataCollaboration with partners in the mobility ecosystem,especially authorities,is critical for achieving an outcome with mutual benefits.One of the most important considerations is data sharing,without which running an integrated mobility ecosystem is impossible.Although authorities have
156、 a key role in setting data-sharing standards and safeguards and providing suitable infrastructure,operators must cooperate and actively look for solutions that benefit multiple partners.Operators should work with authorities to help shape regulation,including being open to public/private partnershi
157、ps.3.Innovate continuouslyOperators must adopt a mindset of continuous innovation to grow scale and profit margin.Enjoy in Milan,which started with a traditional model,is a good example of what can be achieved with constant incremental innovation(see case study“Enjoy in Milan”).It offers users free
158、access to car-lite zones,giving car-sharing users privileges over private cars,and it provides a solid mix of vehicles,including cargo vehicles.It also offers a good set of partner benefits and rapid battery-swap stations for EVs.Case study Evo in Vancouver-Population of Vancouver:0.7 million;eighth
159、 most populous city in Canada-Cars per household:1.56-Car-sharing penetration:4.22 car share vehicles per 1,000 residentsEvo was founded in 2015 and has 2,250 vehicles with about 30,000 users.It offers Toyota Prius hybrids and electric Kia Niros.The service covers Vancouver and Victoria and uses a f
160、ree-floating model(users can start/stop cars within blue zones).Its tariff is based on time with a one-time registration fee.StrengthsEvos strength is its customer centricity,which is built around customer use cases based on the“Vancouver lifestyle.”Its collaboration with the public transit authorit
161、y TransLink,which began in 2017,enabled car sharing to take off in Vancouver.Another good practice is the fact that Evo shares trip data with the City of Vancouver on a regular basis,allowing better assessment of parking-location requirements.Limitations Initial attempts to build car share technolog
162、y in-house without the necessary expertise were not successful.Until recently,Evo also encountered challenges in switching from free-floating to a station-based business model for lower-density cities.Product management is tied to an external software-as-a-service vendor,which could be seen as limit
163、ing.Key takeaway-Authorities should work collaboratively with car-sharing operators and set up processes to share data that can be used to better integrate car sharing with existing mobility ecosystem.1 94.Focus on the broadest possible customer populationCar-sharing businesses that only focus on on
164、e segment tend to be more difficult to scale and may not be commercially viable(see case study“Share Now in Berlin”).From an overall ecosystem perspective,such schemes are usually suboptimal because they are hard to integrate with other mobility modes.Scalability requires aiming at the broadest poss
165、ible customer population(whether consumer,business,or government)with careful customer segmentation and profiling to ensure customer-centric offerings.5.Adopt a system-wide perspectiveCar-sharing operators must consider the overall mobility system,rather than focusing solely on the performance of th
166、eir operation.Indeed,an ecosystem-based approach is much more likely to lead to sustainable operations in the long run,as the greater overall value provided to consumers is matched with a higher willingness to pay for the service.Case study Enjoy in Milan -Population of Milan:1.4 million;second most
167、 populous city in Italy-Cars per household:1.11-Car-sharing penetration:2.78 car share vehicles per 1,000 residentsEnjoy was founded in 2013 in Milan.It has 2,600 vehicles in Italy and more than 1 million users nationally.It covers Milan,Turin,Rome,Florence,and Bologna.It offers EVs,hybrid vehicles,
168、and conventional vehicles.In Milan,users can park vehicles in any legal space,with reserved parking areas also available.Its tariff is based on time and distance.StrengthsEnjoy is a good example of what can be achieved with constant incremental innovation,starting with a traditional model.It offers
169、users free access to car-lite zones,which gives car-sharing users privileges over private cars.It provides a solid mix of vehicles,including cargo vehicles.It offers a good set of partner benefits.Its EV approach includes the innovation of rapid battery-swap stations.Limitations Enjoys focus on inne
170、r-city areas already well served by public transit led to cream skimming off existing public transport users.Enjoys use of novel,dedicated vehicles,while allowing for better cost control and services,limits adoption by users accustomed to traditional cars.Key takeaways-Low market regulation led to a
171、 clear vision of urban mobility achieved through product design.-Stronger integration with the citys public transport and the overall mobility ecosystem would have been beneficial.2 0REPORT:SHARING IN SUCCESS ARTHUR D.LITTLECase study Share Now in Berlin -Population of Berlin:3.6 million;most populo
172、us city in Germany-Cars per household:0.95-Car-sharing penetration:1.43 car share vehicles per 1,000 residentsShare Now formed from a merger between Car2Go(Daimler)and DriveNow(BMW)in 2022.It exited North America and the UK due to excessive competition,increasing costs,and limited EV support infrast
173、ructure.Its fleet includes 1,800 vehicles in Berlin and 14,000 across 18 cities across Europe,with more than 4 million registered users.It uses a free-floating model everywhere.Its tariff is based on time and distance with an optional subscription fee.StrengthsShare Now was a pioneer in bringing a p
174、remium product to free-floating car sharing,providing a new marketing channel for its OEM parent that initially resulted in a lower cost base due to economies of scale.The high visibility of car sharing in public spaces,and the public debate surrounding this,have been effective in driving a behavior
175、al shift away from private vehicles.Limitations The premium-segment focus led to“cream skimming”off public transportation,which was undesirable from a policy point of view.Ultimately,many individuals were unwilling to pay for premium vehicles in the competitive Berlin market.Maintenance did not mana
176、ge to keep up with customer behavior.Vehicle-sourcing channels distorted the costs(premium vehicles were less expensive to use than third-party basic cars).Key takeaway-Car-sharing markets are highly localized,requiring careful market analysis even in similar cultural contexts.Case study BlueSG in S
177、ingapore -Population of Singapore:5.6 million-Cars per household:0.48-Car-sharing penetration:0.81 car share vehicles per 1,000 residentsBlueSG was founded in 2017.It has 1,300 vehicles and more than 100,000 users.Its fleet is 100%electric(Bollor Bluecar,Opel Corsa-e).It has about 1,000 bidirectiona
178、l charging points nationwide.Its tariff is based on time with a subscription fee.In 2021,BlueSG was acquired by local OEM dealership Goldbell from its previous owner,Bollor Group.StrengthsBlueSGs electric fleet is well aligned with Singapores ambitious environmental goals.It offers extensive EV char
179、ging stations in parking lots across Singapore,in convenient locations such as public housing estates.In line with the governments green plan,BlueSG drivers have access to increasing numbers of public EV charging points,and operators receive subsidies for installing EV charging points.Limitations Bl
180、ueSG suffers from an asymmetrical distribution of cars,especially during peak periods such as weekends and public holidays.Availability of parking lots with EV charging stations is a significant constraint on further fleet growth.Its time-based tariff structures incent speeding.Key takeaway-EV-based
181、 car-sharing operators can profit from preferred access to designated parking lots with EV charging stations.2 1Car sharing has a checkered history in many cities,with a few successes and some notable failures.But as the shift away from“car ownership by default”continues and new mobility offers beco
182、me better integrated into the overall mobility system,car sharing has the potential to come into its own and deliver major benefits to both customers and transit authorities.Car sharing is even more attractive as an individual mobility solution when paired with the shift to EVs,and as AVs and robota
183、xis become mainstream,we may see car sharing increasingly converge with ride sharing.The key to success for all stakeholders(transit authorities,operators,investors,and suppliers)is adopting an ecosystem-based approach.Car sharing benefits from being fully integrated with,and contributes to,the over
184、all mobility system,especially public transport;this also benefits citizens.For city and transport authorities,this means finding the right balance between framing and enabling regulations and actions,actively managing car-sharing demand for the benefit of the overall system,setting conditions that
185、enable close collaboration between players,enabling data sharing,fostering innovation,and integrating physical infrastructure.In many places,subsidies can be justified by the resulting reduction in privately owned cars.THE KEY TO SUCCESS FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS IS ADOPTING AN ECOSYSTEM-BASED APPROACHOp
186、erators must become and remain customer-centric,acting local,target the broadest possible customer population,be willing to collaborate and share data with others,take a broad system perspective,and constantly innovate.With this approach,car sharing has the potential to become a key part of a sustai
