Car clubs reduce total UK car parc

摘要

Nearly 100,000 private vehicles have been taken off the road as a rising number of people sign up to car clubs. Businesses can improve the efficiency, cost, and safety of their grey fleets by encouraging employees to use car club vehicles or by investing in a fleet of low emission or electric vehicles for work related journeys The shared transport charity Collaborative Mobility (CoMoUK) has carried out new research into car club usage across the country, finding that 6,060 car club vehicles are now in operation - resulting in 99,355 private cars no longer required. That is because people are persuaded to sell their own car for the cheaper, greener car club alternative or defer buying one when they take up car club membership. The annual report found there are 634,606 total car club members in England, Scotland, and Wales, including 229,464 active users, with membership more than doubling since 2018, while more than a fifth said they had put off buying their own car.
