Le besoin de plus en plus pressant d'aborder les probl mes qui en d coulent, et particuli rement l'urgente n cessit d'att nuer les changements climatiques, ont nourri un int r t pour des modes de transport alternatifs.

This fast-paced growth of the industrial sector, coupled with the more sturdy progress of the agricultural sector, has necessitated extensive supply chains across the country to facilitate sourcing and distribution of production.

In der Folge reichen die vorhandenen Stra en und Parkpl tze nicht mehr aus und die Umweltbelastung steigt zusehends. Um den Einfluss des Transportfaktors auf den Klimawandel zu verringern, gibt es eine innovative und viel versprechende M glichkeit: die Begrenzung oder Verringerung der Fahrzeugpopulation durch Car-Sharing. Dieses Gesch ftsmodell hat in den letzten Jahren erheblich an Akzeptanz gewonnen. Die Unternehmensberatung Frost & Sullivan geht davon aus, dass sich bis 2016 europaweit 5,5 Millionen Nutzer rund 77.000 Fahrzeuge teilen werden.

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=193041877 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=193331843 As the population swells and clusters increasingly in urban centers, appetites for personal convenience surge and the environment suffers. The increasingly urgent need to address consequent issues, and especially the pressing need to mitigate climate change, have fueled interest in alternative transportation modes. One of the most innovative and promising of these is car sharing, a personal transportation solution based on shared, self-service, on-demand, pay-as-you-use, short-term vehicle usage. This form of car rental slashes the fixed costs of vehicle ownership, curbs fuel costs, reduces vehicle congestion and emissions, and, importantly, provides a solid platform for the growth and acceptance of EVs.

Daher ist eine Strategie n tig, die sich nicht nur auf neue Automobile konzentriert, sondern die CO2-Emission s mtlicher Fahrzeuge im Blick hat. Eine ebenso einfache wie kosteneffiziente L sung bietet die gr ne Telematik , die zunehmend das Interesse von Flottenbetreibern und Privatverbrauchern gewinnt. Denn immerhin lassen sich auf diesem Wege sowohl die Treibstoffkosten als auch die sch dlichen Emissionen um rund zehn Prozent senken. Ein weiterer Vorteil: Selbst alte Autos k nnen nachger stet werden.

As a result, every European VM is racing towards capturing a share of this opportunity. Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=190142398
