During the last two months, there have been over 40,000 rentals; this is equivalent to someone renting one of car2go’s 400 smart fortwo hatchbacks in Chongqing every 1.7 minutes, according to the report.
car2go’s 400 vehicles are spread out over 37.2 square miles in the central part of Chongqing, say the report.
In the past five years, car2go has expanded its carsharing service to 29 North American and European cities.
