Fractional Ownership. Xxxxxxx et al. (2015a) define “fractional ownership” as a model where “individuals sublease or subscribe to a vehicle owned by a third party. These individuals have ‘rights’ to the shared vehicle service in exchange for taking on a portion of the operating and maintenance expenses. This enables access to vehicles that individuals might otherwise be unable to afford, and it results in income sharing when the vehicle is rented to non-owners.” In contrast to P2P carsharing, this model targets more expensive car models, which most households would not 16 xxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.xxxxx.edu/article/how-green-is-the-sharing-economy/ 17 Although empirical evidence is limited to one study in Portland – Xxxx (2014), quoted in Xxxxxxx et al.

Le Vine et al. mention specifically: back-end IT systems, market research capabilities, brand recognition and optimal vehicle maintenance regimes. For vehicle manufacturers, setting up car sharing schemes can also be a relatively risk-free way to explore the tastes of consumers in markets they are not familiar with. 19 Some authors (see for instance Burlando 2012) have argued that, because of the cost structure of carsharing, operators need to operate at a large scale, and this implies...
