Singapore has introduced its first electric electric vehicle sharing platform on a large scale.
The country is hoping to increase the transport services for passengers and remove their own car purchases, according to Reuters reports.
The BlueSG division of France's Boolere Group will operate this service for a decade. This step was taken as part of Singapore's plan to reduce the number of cars on the streets and encourage citizens to use public transportation.
The most vulnerable country in terms of being the owner of the car says in October this year, they will not allow the total number of cars to increase from February next year. In this case, mentioning the importance of the public transport by referring to their land crisis, the country said that the country has to emphasize the development of the public transport system.
The country is already conducting experiments with some self-propelled vehicle technology - 'well-maintained roads and relatively uninterrupted road transport system' - it is said in the report.
Bolere operates similar electric car sharing services in Paris and Lyon in France, Los Angeles and Indianapolis of France and Turin in Italy. According to a statement on Tuesday, there are already 80 cars and 32 charging stations under the organization for public use.
The goal of the company is to bring one thousand cars by 2020 and make two thousand charging points. According to BlueSG, Singapore's service will become the world's largest electric car sharing platform after Paris.
No amount of money was spent on this project, it was not disclosed in the statement. The Singapore government will give some money for the construction of this project.
BlueSG's cars are two doors and four people can get it. These cars carry lithium-metallic polymer batteries, which can run up to 200 kilometers if they are fully charged.
Users can be one of the two features to get this service. One feature will be 0.33 Singapore dollars per minute for the annual customers, and the other will have to pay 0.50 Singapore Dollars per minute.
Two thousand people have already registered for this service, said BlueSG.
