While automotive OEMs have decreased their interest in deploying shared mobility programs in North America, the European and Asian markets remain very active for carsharing, ridehailing and other adjacent sharing models.

To stand out from the competition and carve out a place in the market, localized services at the city-level must utilize sophisticated fleet management and intelligent vehicle distribution algorithms, which would conversely need to leverage global infrastructure and fit in with an existing and quickly evolving ecosystem of suppliers and service providers.

Shared Mobility - Latest Insights

Launching and scaling a successful mobility service is daunting. Each day, market entrants threaten traditional vehicle ownership models with new flavors of leasing, vehicles-as-a-service, commercial fleets, on-demand delivery, and various forms of ride-hailing and sharing services.

And while the distribution shows an eventual enthusiasm decline in traditional ownership at the 10-year milestone, shared mobility and car ownership will likely still coexist for years to come.
