Дата: 23-07-18 10:37GATWICK LAUNCHES UK"S FIRST ELECTRIC CAR SHARING SERVICELondon Gatwick today launched the UK's first electric car sharing service which it believes will appeal to passengers, staff and local residents. As of today, customers can now reserve and pick up a 100% electric car at Gatwick – and return it to the airport or any of 300 compatible pick up/drop off points across London. The service, which is similar to schemes popular in other parts of the world, is being rolled out in partnership with Bluecity, the only company to operate a pan-London electric vehicle car sharing service with 100 cars currently available in total. The new point to point service gives people using the airport a convenient, zero emissions travel option for getting directly on and off the airport and is purposely designed to be easy to locate and use, with customers able to reserve a car in seconds via the Bluecity app. Local residents are also encouraged to use the service and Gatwick staff have also been offered the opportunity to trial the service for free. A standard journey in a Bluecity car from central London is also an affordable travel option to the airport. The four-seater’s drive from Central London to the very front of the airport will cost around £15 in moderate traffic.

The 24,000 staff on Gatwick’s airport campus and local residents are also being encouraged to use the new electric car sharing service. The gateway's chief commercial officer, Guy Stephenson, said: “Gatwick leads the way on airport innovation and this UK airport first not only offers a new, flexible option for getting on and off the airport, it also improves air quality. Bluecity’s managing director, Christophe Arnaud, said: “We are particularly proud of this milestone agreement with Gatwick Airport and look forward to our collaboration for years to come.
