Rolling out Greenwheels
After the start in 1995 Greenwheels joined forces with the NS in 1997, the start of a long-standing and good partnership. Instead of replacing another form of transport,Β a shared car is an addition to the network. Greenwheels soon expanded they network to 33 Dutch cities. In 2004,Β GreenwheelsΒ entered the GermanΒ market, following the acquisition ofΒ StattAutoΒ andΒ Shelldrive. In 2015,Β Volkswagen Financial Services and Pon Holdings acquired a stake inΒ GreenwheelsΒ for the further (international) roll-out of the concept.
Together with Pon and Volkswagen Leasing,Β GreenwheelsΒ ensures thatΒ our customers drive comfortable, energy-efficient and safe cars.Β Currently our shared car fleet consists of Volkswagen up!, Golf Variant,Β Caddy and e-Golf cars.Β
The common goal (in the meantime new partners like mobility providers: Next, Radiuz, Mobiliteitsfabriek and Shuttel also went on board) is to make cities more liveable. By sharing cars with one another, there will be more free space for fun things like plants and places to play. Every Greenwheels car is shared by 24 drivers on average, reducing the number of cars on the streets by 11. Also reducing the CO2 emissions and makes users take a more efficient and conscious approach to mobility.
