Go-Ahead invests in environmentally friendly German car-sharing scheme

The Go-Ahead Group has announced their purchase of a 10 per cent stake in Mobileeee, the Frankfurt-based car-sharing company, for a consideration of €300,000.

The two companies will work together in producing environmentally friendly car-sharing schemes, allowing users to book electric cars whilst providing charging infrastructure for their drivers in Germany.

Go-Ahead Group is the largest operator of electric buses in Europe and is the operator of UK’s only all-electric bus garage, in Waterloo, Central London. The agreement with Mobileeee further demonstrates Go-Ahead’s commitment to help cities tackle key issues around congestion, air pollution and transport accessibility.

Commenting on the new partnership, Go-Ahead Group Chief Executive, David Brown said: “This is an exciting new business that complements Go-Ahead’s vision of building cities with sustainable, smart and environmentally friendly transport. Car-sharing can play a cohesive new role alongside buses and trains as the transport services of the future.”

According to Deloitte, Europe accounts for 50 per cent of the global car-sharing market, while research by Boston Consulting Group predicts the global market will be worth €4.7 billion by 2021.

The company offers car-sharing, carpool management, fleet solutions and fleet management, bringing together modern, affordable and sustainable solutions in a new world of mobility.
