53% Amount of carbon

emissions devoted to transportation

By far, the largest source of C02

emission is fossil fuel consumption via transportation

Problem: Urban mobility is unsustainable

Clean energy issues

• Pollution via carbon emissions53% of carbon emissions from fossil vehicles

• City congestion• Energy inefficiency

Lifestyle trends

• Rent vs own• Demand for green vehicles

Existing Solutions Fail

• Private automobiles• Major source of CO2 emissions

• Cause massive congestions

• Public Transportation• Does not cover entire city• First mile - Last mile problem• Inconvenient and inflexible schedules

Solution: One-way, fuel efficient car sharing network

One-way car sharing

VS

Traditional two-way car sharing model

• Commercially available SMART ForTwos, rented by the minute

• Pickup and drop-off anywhere in the urban area

• Maximized service level and fleet utilization through our patent-pending fleet management system

Pros Challenges• Increases vehicle utilization

Leads to higher revenue

• Reduces congestion Each shared car removes up to 30 vehicles

• Flexibility & Convenience Mobility-On-Demand

• Solves first mile – last mileIncreases ridership of mass transit

Complementary to mass transit

• Fleet ManagementVehicle availability

No parking

Costly redistribution

• Critical Mass• Reliance on Local

Municipalities to fund parking

Phase 1Launch small pilot MIT• Operate on campus (25-50 cars)• Current partnership with SMART• Prove use-case and niche• Learn and optimize• Rely on word-of-mouth marketing

Phase 2Expand to nearby colleges• Restrict usage to students

Phase 3City and general public use

Candidate cities include:• High GDP• Population density• Mixed land-use• Poor public transit coverage• Motivation to reduce traffic and

energy consumption Iterate and perfect product based on customer feedback

Car2Go user Positive Feedback

“I love the idea of car2go, and the few times it was available to get me to work on time, it was fantastic and I was grateful.”

“I was dreading the walk home, but voila! someone had parked a car2go right in front of the restaurant! It really has been a lifesaver on my laziest occasions.”

Meg C. Austin, TX12/14/2010

De C. Austin, TX11/10/2010

“I got an email confirmation showing the location of the car on a map. I got to the location- no car. I checked around the area. No car.”

“Car2Go's silver bullet is that you don't have to return the car to where you started”

Tate S. Austin, TX10/6/2010

Mercedes P. Austin, TX12/14/2010 “I can never find one when I need it. EVER.“

• The breakeven point for car ownership and carsharing is approx 4k miles

• Our target market is urban dwellers who drive less than 4k miles per year

• Carsharing is more cost effective vs car ownership

• Carsharing programs save up to 70% of the total transit costs for its members

• Utilization rate is the key revenue driver

• Most car sharing serves one city/market (except ZipCar and U Car Share)

• Rental companies recently joined (e.g. Connect by Hertz, WeCar)

• One-way trips will raise membership and serve urban niche

Challenge Notes Level of Importance

Increased vehicle utilization rates

Two-way vehicle utilization rates should be 40%, otherwise carsharing fails to recover costs.

High

Change members driving decisions

Currently, 11-32% of charsharing members give up their vehicles, and 25-71% avoid buying one. The success of any carsharing program depends on how to exploit these trends

High

Expand member base A mix of residential, business and government members lead to complementary usage of vehicles and higher utilization rates.

High

Financial resources Carsharing businesses initially lose money until they reach critical mass. Outside funding is critical.

High

Awareness & Mindshare Carsharing members only account for 0.2% of registered North American licensed drivers. Carsharing programs must increase awareness to expand.

Medium

Partnerships Partnering with transit agencies, parking authorities, shops and services is imperative for long term growth

Medium

Communicate carsharing benefits

Communicate carsharing benefits to government municipalities, transportation authorities and future members to increase membership and government support

Medium
