Corporate CarSharing in the company fleet

CarSharing the use of one vehicle by several people has long been part of the urban landscape of medium-sized to large cities worldwide. Shared vehicles can be seen on the roadsides, which can be opened decentrally via smartphone app and offer a very individual mobility service.

Car sharing is also used in many companies, because many fleet managers see the advantages of several employees sharing a company car: higher utilization and thus lower costs. But to what extent is the fleet really better utilized? And how high are the costs that I can save as a company?

This is what fleetster is trying to answer with its study. We analyze fleet information from the last 10 years and analyze capacity utilization.

The assumption: Car sharing helps to improve fleet utilization

Company cars assigned to employees have long idle times during which they are not moved. If we assume a normal working day for an employee who has an average of one customer appointment per day outside the office, we arrive at a maximum of 4 hours of use per day (2x1h to and from work; 2x1h to and from customer appointments). Conversely, this means that in a conventional 8-hour working day, 50% of the vehicle's usage potential falls by the wayside.

Many companies therefore try to optimize this unused time by offering a corporate car-sharing model (often software-based).

Corporate CarSharing Software allows employees to book pool vehicles themselves online or via the intranet. The previous control center Fleet management or Travel-Management the Corporate CarSharing software saves the time and effort involved in assigning company cars and vehicles. Business and private trips are automatically billed per use via payroll accounting or internal cost centers. This process optimization reduces the time spent by users and administrators.
