Car sharing. In Basel alone, 120 vehicles are available around the clock.
Catch a Car has been running successfully in Basel since August 2014 with over 5,000 active customers and a range of 120 vehicles. AMAG participated in the pilot project as the exclusive vehicle supplier with the VW up! compact car. With its recent entry as a shareholder in Catch a Car AG, AMAG is consistently expanding its strategy in the car-sharing sector. This also includes the participation in the car sharing platform "sharoo" (subsidiary of Migros) or the partnership with the "Swiss Start up Factory".
Targeted AMAG activities in the mobility sector
In addition to the traditional sales and service business for new and used cars, further mobility services are to be offered and investments made in their development. Bernhard Soltermann, COO and Managing Director AMAG Import: "Catch a Car offers us an excellent opportunity to further expand our commitment in the mobility sector in a targeted manner. Through our involvement with Mobility as one of the fleet suppliers and as a shareholder in Catch a Car and sharoo, we are now at the forefront of all three forms of car sharing."
