Quotes from the report:
New mobility concepts are seen as one of the four most important trends with potential to disrupt the automotive industry’s current business models – Dr Wolfgang Bernhart, Senior Partner, Roland Berger
If you look at how many people use a car to commute to work in the US, it’s more than 85%. This is a country dominated by low-density urban areas and suburban areas, where commutes are getting longer – Adela Spulber, Transportation Systems Analyst, CAR
We want to get rid of some of the disadvantages of the public transportation system, for example the fixed routes or the strict time schedules. Our shuttles can drive routes determined by specific needs, such as where the demand is, and these can obviously change throughout the day – Ole Harms, Chief Executive, Moia
So far as the long-term strategic importance of car-sharing goes, I think the numbers tell their own story. Consequently, car2go is a cornerstone of Daimler’s mobility eco-system – Olivier Reppert, Chief Executive, car2go
When we prevailed upon cities in 2013 to use mobile tickets, they had no idea what that meant. Today, we have to race to keep up with the demand of cities who want an app to navigate their system and pay for the ride – Nat Parker, Chief Executive, moovel in North America
In some cases, companies are already sending their employees on business trips, where, for example, they’ll travel by train from Cologne to Munich, and then pick up a car at the station from a car-sharing service for the last mile, rather than drive for the whole distance – John Vincent, Principal Designer, Yanfeng Automotive Interiors
