CommShare!

Community Sharing on Campus Groningen

Charged with passion. That is what we are. 

From February 10th 2020, the UMCG started using ten electric cars for car sharing. These cars are intended for UMCG employees who travel many business kilometers. These electric cars are now available for their business trips. With this, the UMCG wants to offer a new, sustainable and future-proof form of mobility for employees who have to travel a lot for business and for whom public transport is not always an alternative. This initiative is part of CommShare: the community sharing service for smart sharing of facilities. Starting with a pilot of a shared car concept on Campus Groningen.

The pilot

At first, CommShare will provide the ten electric cars for a one-year pilot. During the pilot year, the focus is on learning, improving and optimizing together. The shared cars are also made available for private use for a fee. The shared cars can be reserved and opened through an app. The pilot is made possible by CommShare; a collaboration of the Triade, Pouw Rent and Martinistad B.V. BMW & MINI.

Location of the electric cars

The location of the 5 shared cars can be found next to the Zusterhuis UMCG. Since the beginning of March, there are also  3 BMW’s on the parking deck behind the  NH Hotel Groningen. Pilot users of the UMCG ca n use all of these cars.
