Volkswagen - autopartage - Hanovre Le Groupe allemand lance un nouveau concept d'autopartage dans la capitale de Basse Saxe cet automne avec 200 Golf BlueMotion. Le nom de cette opération “Quicar-Share a Volkswagen”. Je m'abonne La ville de Hanovre et le constructeur ont conclu un accord pour la mise en place du concept. « Les points forts de ce projet, en plus d’utiliser la très économe Golf BlueMotion, résident dans la forte disponibilité des véhicules et la facilité d’utilisation. Le moteur de 1.6 TDI 105 ch de la Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion présente une consommation moyenne de carburant de 3,8 litres pour 100 kilomètres, ce qui correspond à des rejets de 99 grammes de CO2 par kilomètre. Au lancement, il y aura environ 50 stations de prise en main/dépose des véhicules dans toute la ville. Un logiciel de réservation et de management de flotte a été développé pour l’autopartage.
