We all dream of a city where you have less noise and less pollution, President and CEO Vincent Bollore told a crowd of more than 200 people to the dedication is very funny without noise emission, he said, showing five cars parked in parking spaces dedicated along the first block of East Washington.
Publicly traded Bollore, one of the 500 largest companies, developed the two-door cars He started his car-sharing experience in Paris in 2011 in the world and has built a network of 900 stations which are not yet profitable, but it made the right vehicles are used all the time, Hochard said Bollore has added car sharing systems in two other French cities.
Bollore selected Indianapolis as its first carpool website of the United States because of Mayor Greg Ballard highly publicized initiative to change the fleet of city for electric and gas-electric hybrid models He allowed that there is no a train or subway system to compete, said Hochard.
Hochard said he wasn t sure if Bollore will try to negotiate to build resorts in Carmel, Greenwood, fishermen and other suburbs.
Young drivers are the target market of the company, which is why four of the 25 selected load collection sites so far are on campus Other initial sites are Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, the Fashion Mall, Glendale Town Center, the Indianapolis International airport and Irvington.
Bollore also aims to make money by opening charging stations for electric car users to charge their private cars for a fee.
The cost of IPL to install 1,000 charging stations, which are about 4 feet tall and hold a cord to plug into a car, could run up to 16 million The utility hopes to recover the installation costs by sharing profits with Bollore IPL will receive the first 4 million in program benefits and to a lesser share of profits over time, said Marc Lotter, a spokesman for the city.
He said the company car-sharing is another device to draw people to Indy.
Brian Wynne, President, Electric Drive Transportation Association, which is having its annual convention in Indianapolis this week, said he thinks the pilots in Indianapolis and other cities will adopt the idea of paying for cars minute if they're convenient to use.
It opens a transport option for the next generation of drivers, Wynne said, and it fits into the concept of convenience and tend to share resources.
BlueIndy recruit ambassadors for show cars offer driving tests and explain carpooling on the center of the site by December Demos will be open every day, including weekends, said Steve Commiskey , one of the ambassadors.
