Abstract

New concepts of shared car ownership, such as Call-a-Car, can contribute to the alleviation of problems caused by traffic in the urban areas of both developed and developing countries. The effectivess of shared car ownership as a governmental policy instrument will depend on the presence of supporting policies. Such governmental policy should be aimed at making shared car ownership attractive as a substitute for private car ownership, and not as a substitute for biking or public transport. By introducing electric vehicles in professionally operated shared car ownership organizations an extra contribution can be made to the improvement of the urban living environment. These organizations also offer the opportunity These organizations also offer the opportunity to let the electric vehicle mature commercially in a protected market environment. (A)
