Fares will also be customized based on individual mobility needs through a process that precedes registration for the service and generates a discount and a personal fare system, with concessions for specific categories such as mothers, commuters and students living away from home.

HOW SHARE 'NGO WORKS –

How do the cars work? They are all-electric, with fuel provided by operators with two fuel stations in Milan. The vehicles can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, are certified to carry two people, and have all the amenities of a city car. Plus, there's a special benefit for women : from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., the 100 Equomobili cars will be free for women.

THE OTHER CAR SHARING: Aygo Fun Sharing, car sharing is free at PoliMi

Compared to other electric cars currently available, Share'ngo vehicles also don't need to be taken to charging stations . This is a significant advantage for all users. "Merit rewards" are also available for certain categories of people , such as those who perform public service work, those who sell their private car, those who work in co-working spaces, or those who take their car to the wash.

ELECTRIC CAR SHARING –

The new urban mobility service management company was created by two individuals with backgrounds in the automotive industry: Alfredo Bacci, a former Fiat executive, and Ettore Chimenti, former marketing director at Piaggio. The goal is to start in Milan, where 200 residents have already given up their private cars to travel downtown, and then expand to other Italian cities : Rome, Pisa, Modena, and Florence. The next step is to expand to other European cities.
