The Move About car sharing scheme, which uses the THINK City as its lead electric vehicle, has reached a milestone having signed up its 1,000th member.
The scheme was launched in 2009 in Oslo, Norway, but has since expanded to Gothenburg and Copenhagen with similar schemes also taking place in Germany and Austria. There are 80 vehicles involved, 79 of which are THINK City models.

According to Michael Eimstad, manager of Move About, the number of cars involved only tells half the story. He states that the car sharing system means that many people can share relatively few cars – which is a much smarter way of using resources and means more people can drive electric cars.
The THINK City is on sale across Europe with production having reached 2,500 units. It can maintain speeds of 70mph and can travel up to 100miles on a single charge. Around 10,000 units have been sold, equating to 35million zero emission road miles to date.
