Mobility: My car is your car too
CARSHARING Thanks to customer growth of almost eight percent, 261,000 people now use Mobility's red cars. Among other things, the growth will ensure a four percent increase in sales in 2022.
The Mobility cooperative increased sales to 83.9 million Swiss francs in 2022, presenting an annual profit of 1.4 million Swiss francs. Although this result is significantly worse than in the previous year (2.8 million), it is better than expected.
Mobility CEO Roland Lötscher: "I consider the result a nice success. Especially when we consider the difficult market situation in which we are operating as an SME."
Zero-emission fleet by 2030
In 2022, Mobility was confronted with sharply increased prices for fuel, energy and vehicle procurement. In addition, an increase in the volume of damage caused additional expenses for vehicle maintenance.
However, delivery delays for electric cars and charging stations also caused problems. These trends are likely to continue or even intensify in the current year in view of the various crises in the world. Nevertheless, Mobility intends to push ahead with the conversion of its vehicle fleet to electric drives so that it can be driven without emissions by 2030.
Companies rely on car sharing
Last year, Mobility celebrated its 25th birthday and counted more than a quarter of a million customers for the first time. People are again making greater use of car-sharing services since the abolition of the home-office obligation in February 2022. Mobility's business customer segment in particular developed positively, attracting 150 new companies.
But the cooperative also recorded greater growth among private customers. In order to increasingly appeal to younger customers, Mobility launched a new product in November 2022. People under the age of 28 can use this product at particularly favorable conditions.
