GM also plans to expand a car sharing program called CarUnity now underway in Frankfurt, Germany to operate across Germany, Mike Abelson, GM vice president for program management told investors in a presentation.
Ableson did not say what U.S. city GM will choose to launch a car sharing operation. GM said Thursday it will launch a small scale car sharing program in New York City, called Let’s Drive NYC, starting with ten vehicles.
well noone is interested in buying thier grabage cars so they gotto push it somewhere. They used to push company leases and car rentals. I guess now its car sharing. Same garbage.
I like the idea but question if GM can compete with industry leaders like ZipCar.
