The Free2Move app makes life easier. It enables users to
identify all available car-sharing vehicles in their vicinity in
just one click on their smartphone. Users can thus compare the
location, characteristics and operating cost of available vehicles.
They can either book or immediately access the vehicle of their
choice for a period ranging between a few minutes and several
days.
The Free2Move application provides access to six
carsharing services in France, including peer-to-peer services or
companies owning the vehicle fleet (also called public carsharing
services). The application is free and available for iOS and
Android.
- Koolicar and Drivy offer
peer-to-peer car sharing throughout France;
- TravelCar offers peer-to-peer
car sharing in major airports and train stations;
- Communauto, Zipcar and
Autolib, urban car sharing services in Paris, let users pick
up a car and thus get a booked parking space. The Communauto
fleet includes Citroën vehicles, while that of Zipcar
includes Peugeot vehicles.
The application is also available in Spain with urban
car-sharing services emov and Car2Go in Madrid.
With 250,000 customers in Europe and some thirty
operators, Free2Move now offers access to car-sharing
services in cities across the following seven countries: Germany,
Italy, Austria, Sweden, the UK, Spain and France.
According to research by Frost & Sullivan,1 France is ranked
third in Europe for the number of car sharing users (320,000
members in 2015), behind Germany and Italy; it is ranked second for
the number of shared vehicles (7,500 in 2015), behind Germany. The
number of users of car-sharing services worldwide is set to
multiply by 4.5 over the next 10 years, increasing from 8 to 36
million users between 2015 and 2025.
With its Free2Move brand, Groupe PSA aims to become a
major player in these new mobility services. Brigitte Courtehoux,

expectations of its customers and facilitate access to these new
