Mendes to introduce Car-Sharing in Ireland
We are now in the process of setting up a national car-sharing scheme under the name GoCar. This follows the completion of a feasibility study on car-sharing for Cork City Council, which was carried out in conjunction with Richard Armitage Transport Consultancy. Mendes offered to implement a car-sharing scheme in Cork and the City Council has agreed to this offer. We are now in the process of establishing the scheme in Cork as the first location in Ireland with a start date of 1 May 2008. GoCar is being implemented in partnership with Cambio, which operates and supports car-sharing schemes in many cities in NW Germany and throughout Belgium. The GoCar project team includes Graham Lightfoot, Managing Director of Mendes, who was project manager of the Co-op Car Club pilot project in Dublin in 1997/8 and Chas Ball, Associate Consultant with Richard Armitage Transport Consultancy, and formerly Development Manager of City Car Club, Britain’s leading car-sharing club.
