The essence of car-sharing is timeshare rental, which began in 1990s in foreign countries. The emergence of online hailed car and bicycle-sharing makes a series of shared concept popular, it is natural that timeshare rental uses the concept of car-sharing.

While Mobike has been raising financial successively.

From this point, although they are same in travel market, but what car-sharing needs is not to be overvalued. We should think from the position of traditional car power.

Promoted by various factors, the development of car-sharing has become an important way to meet the national policies and market changes. 

For investors, this track may be too small, it is difficult to be successful distinctly. However, for the traditional car power, it has a special significance, the car is going to more people by sharing.

Moreover, due to the car-sharing platform has natural connections with manufacturer or the capital, when there is not large amount of capital in car-sharing area, it is not a major problem for manufacturers which are not short of money. What important is that whether car-sharing can soon find profit model and realize their own profitability, undertake the task of transferring from the manufacturer to the service provider.

A new way of automobile consumption is rising.
