The 21th century is the one where circular economy and on-demand services will rise. Mobility is going to be shared, convenient and green. One smartphone is today sufficient to access a car for any employee worldwide, and it’s even capable for some cars to start the engine. Connectivity is the mobility key and a car/ride shared mentality is part of the global thinking of the generations Y and Z of workers.
Car sharing is the future. This means that for the car and leasing industry the days of “just” providing cars are behind. OEMs and lease giants need to furnish on-demand services to remain capital actors in the mobility game. Daimler aims to expand its mobility & car sharing offers through Moovel. Ford and Jaguar Land Rover created respectively their mobility start up to build car sharing services.
Car sharing is a smart alternative to the “classic” company car, it helps employees get a ride when needed, enables them to be more productive since they don’t waste time in traffic, and helps a company reflect a climate-friendly image.
Company mobility is going to be increasingly “shared” in the following years. As a fleet manager is up to you to make the right choice and be a precursor by including a car sharing scheme in your company now.
In the near future, mobility and car sharing in particular are meant to be developed further. The costs of car ownership, the daily city traffic and the time waste it engenders, the generations Y and Z of workforce are all part of the mix which is going to radically shake the “classic” one company car per employee scheme. Many evolutions are yet to come and as a fleet manager you must decide now to develop a car sharing programme for your company drivers. Mobility is going to be connected, flexible, sustainable, on-demand and car shared.
