“Ulm has been one of our most important research locations for many years, and is therefore the ideal choice for testing this future-oriented mobility concept”, affirms Dr. Thomas Weber, a member of the board of management at research and development for Daimler AG. Ivo Gönner, Mayor of City Ulm says “As a center of scientific activity, Ulm offers the right environment for laying the groundwork for new ways forward in mobility”.

Robert Henrich, project manager on Daimler’s Business Innovation department says “Our objective in this initial project phase is to gather practical experience of using car2go. For example we will analyze the technical implementation, the service concept and the usage behavior of the customers”. “The implementation of the car2go pilot project in Ulm has been made possible primarily thanks to the comprehensive support of the city”.
