Momo Car-Sharing
More options for energy efficient mobility through Car-Sharing
NEW BROCHURE AND FACTSHEETS, see below
Introduction
Car-Sharing has a great but mostly unexploited potential on the European scale. Being a kind of decentralised car-rental service, Car-Sharing supplements the sustainable transport modes of walking, cycling and public transport – thus giving an alternative to car-ownership without any restriction for individual mobility. With Car-Sharing as a market-based service, transport can be organised more rationally and more resource-efficient.
Objectives
momo Car-Sharing has the key objective of contributing significantly to sustainable mobility patterns by establishing a mobility culture which is based on using various transport options instead of car-ownership. The European momo-project wants to increase awareness, to improve the service of Car-Sharing and to increase the energy-efficiency within the existing Car-Sharing operations.
As an ambitious target, momo is going to extend Car-Sharing services on the European scale by 20,000 new Car-Sharing customers in total – with significant impact on transport patterns, energy consumption (-58,000 GJ p.a), CO2-emissions (-6,000 t p.a) and on reallocation of urban space (about 3,500 parking spaces won for other purposes).
The momo-project wants to extensively disseminate the experience and will make recommendations on how to establish, develop and integrate eco-efficient Car-Sharing into urban development and with Public Transport services.
Consortium
The momo consortium is composed of municipalities, Car-Sharing operators, research organisations, energy agencies and UITP. Eight European countries are directly represented by the momo partners, and additional countries are involved through the UITP Car-Sharing Platform.
The project co-ordinator is the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen with the Ministry of Environment, Construction, Transport and European Affairs.
