00:24 This is a complete new mobility service.

00:28 One might call it car sharing 2.0,

00:30 because it overcomes the biggest challenges of what

00:35 and parking it.

00:57 We believe we can really make car sharing into something

00:59 that can really change, hopefully,

01:02 and offer a private or an alternative

01:04 to private car ownership.

01:05 In particular, in large cities like Paris, or Berlin,

01:08 or London, where private cars are standing 95% of the time

01:12 being parked because they're owned by someone.

01:14 And we can really now offer an alternative

01:16 to maybe the second private car, or maybe down the line

01:19 even to the first car, as having very affordable door

01:22 to door transport that allows people to get from A to B

01:25 in a very affordable way.
