Daimler AG has entered into a partnership with carpooling.com, an online site which strongly believes in travelling cheap and green. Sharing a ride means people save a great deal of fuel and an even greater amount of money while in the bargain reduce auto emissions and learn to care and share. Pollution and traffic is drastically reduced while parking and road maintenance problems are solved.
Daimler AG will be investing in carpooling.com. Three founders of the company will be major shareholders along with venture capital firm Earlybird. carpooling.com is well established ridesharing network with over 4 million users across Europe. This facility is accessed through the internet, smartphone or through Facebook while the company provides ride sharing facilities both for short, medium and extended distances providing all users with in-depth details of their co passengers. Besides four wheelers, the company also offers bus, rail and airline tickets.
Daimler also has its own short term car rental service with car2go which has over 130,000 customers while they also have a share in MyTaxi which has only recently started operations. Moovel is also a similar facility initiated by Daimler in July 2012. Now partnering carpooling.com will enable both the partners to benefit from each other's experience in similar enterprises while offering customers enhanced, economical and efficient services.Thanks to carpooling.com, 860,000 tons of CO2 and 430 million liters of petrol have been saved and that is not counting money savings by users and friendships gained not to mention over 16 marriages which owe their allegiance to carpooling.com.
