Carsharing means that members use cars owned by a car club or an enterprise. Users have the benefits of cars without the drawbacks of ownership. Recent innovative intelligent mobility services connecting cars and users make carsharing a significant alternative to private cars, particularly in cities. A shared car substitutes 5-15 private cars, and members drive 1/3 less than a private car owner. Emissions may decrease as a result of generally newer and more energy efficient cars. Urbanization, digitalization and a stronger political support are factors that may make carsharing escalate, also in the Norwegian context.
