With the continuous development of new energy vehicles and Internet technology, sharing has become one of the most important development trends of the world's automobile industry. In the view of many people in the industry, the development of shared vehicles is the best solution to alleviate urban traffic congestion. However, a report released by the automotive research center of the University of Duisburg Essen in Germany recently poured a basin of "cold water" on shared cars. According to the report, shared cars have been implemented in Germany for 10 years, but the number of private cars has not decreased at all. According to the above report, since the start of the sharing car business in Germany in 2009, the number of cars has increased by 5.8 million, an increase of 10.4%; the "car ownership per thousand people" in Germany has also increased from 504 to 567. For the above data, Ferdinand dudenheffer, director of the automotive research center of Duisburg Essen University, said: "most shared car companies only allow users to drive in urban areas, which greatly reduces the attractiveness of shared cars." Due to various problems, it is difficult to make profits in Germany. Brands such as Opel, Mazda and Citroen have stopped operating shared car business in Germany, while Daimler and the two "local giants" have to merge the shared car business to share the risks. The German Federation of shared cars has pointed out the reasons for the difficulties faced by shared cars. "Although the German shared car market has been growing in recent years, it is still a niche market." "This is mainly because the government has been encouraging people to buy private cars for many years. In order to get better development, sharing cars needs more policy support," a spokesman for the association said In China, shared vehicle is the best way to digest the redundant capacity of electric vehicle enterprises. According to the data of traffic compulsory insurance, from January to October 2019, the cumulative amount of new energy passenger vehicles on insurance in China was 713000, a year-on-year increase of 38.4%, but the sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles with the ownership of "individual" accounted for only half of the sales volume, and the shared vehicles accounted for a large share of the remaining half of the sales volume.
