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. http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=193331843 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.frost.com/prod/servlet/press-release.pag?Src=RSS&docid=193331843 Market Insight Total Recall: Impact Assessment of Toyota's Quality Issues on its North American Business The automotive industry continues to be tested as uncertainty looms over an anticipated sales rebound in developed markets in 2010.
