One of the main challenges of contemporary transport policy is to reduce the share of individual means of transport in the structure of transport, i.e., to reduce the number of private cars used as the primary means of transportation. This issue is particularly important in urban areas, where congestion generates significant economic costs and poses specific risks to the environment and air quality, ultimately negatively affecting the health of residents. Over the past decades, many solutions have been developed to support the reduction of car traffic, most of which are implemented in urban areas, including short-term car rental services - car-sharing. As the popularity of such services grows, numerous scientific studies have been undertaken to analyze various social, environmental, or economic aspects related to the practical implementation of these systems. A niche area that still remains underexplored is research directly related to the vehicles that make up car-sharing fleets. Addressing this research gap, this article is dedicated to deter-mining which vehicles, considering the type of propulsion used, are optimal for creating a car-sharing fleet based on, separately and collectively, economic, technical, and environmental criteria. To this end, an original procedure was proposed, taking into account the analysis of secondary data on car-sharing fleets in Poland, expert studies conducted among operators of these services, and mathematical analyses using multi-criteria decision support methods (point method of multi-criteria evaluation, MAJA). The study included vehicles with conventional, hybrid, and electric propulsion. Five vehicles of the same model and brand, each with a different type of propulsion, belonging to the most popular C-market segment in car-sharing systems in Poland, were considered. The analyses made it possible to identify the vehicles best suited to the needs of car-sharing in terms of technical, economic, and environmental criteria. The results indicate that under current conditions, considering all evaluation criteria simultaneously, an electric-powered vehicle is the optimal solution. When vehicles were evaluated from the perspective of one of the strategic objectives, plug-in hybrid vehicles dominated. Such vehicles proved to be the most advantageous solution, whether only economic or technical criteria were considered. Electric cars, followed by plug-in hybrid cars, are the best choice when decisions are evaluated from an environmental perspective. The proposed method serves as a decision-making guide for implementing or modernizing fleets in car-sharing systems, which can be used by car-sharing operators to organize their vehicle fleets, as well as by city authorities in selecting car-sharing service providers whose fleet meets their expectations.
Currently, in urban areas, there are a lot of services related to the new mobility concept. The development of such services brings many benefits, from supplementing the transport of fer of a given city to environmental and economic aspects. However, it is worth remembering that these services are dedicated to the society and it is the target group of recipients of all the adwantages of shared mobility. Due to this, the authors proposed the possibility of considering shared mobility services as a solution supporting the overcoming of barriers in access to transport services and a preventive measure of social exclusion. The work includes aspects of improving transport accessibility, possibilities of adjusting services to the needs of the society, safety of services and reduction of the phenomenon of social exclusion. The work is support for the popularization of shared mobility services and public education.
Od listopada ubiegłego roku w stolicy Dolnego Śląska działa Miejska Wypożyczalnia Samochodów Elektrycznych VOZILLA. I cieszy się dużym zainteresowaniem. Na czym polega innowacyjność tego projektu i dlaczego elektryczny car-sharing to dobre rozwiązanie dla mieszkańców dużych miast?
The article presents the development of urban car-sharing systems. In recent years we have observed substantial increase in the number of such systems implemented all over the world. The number of users has also been rapidly growing which translates into the impact car-sharing services have on transportation behaviour. Additionally, the process contributes to changes of the modal split. The analysis presented covers systems in operation in Europe, Asia and North America. The article is divided into two parts. The first one presents historical development of car-sharing systems, whereas the second, prospects for their development in 2020-2025.
Praca została poświęcona tematyce transportu miejskiego i jego uzupełnieniu usługami oferowanymi przez systemy działające w myśl koncepcji gospodarki współdzielenia (ang. sharing economy). Autorzy skupili się na przedstawieniu idei sharing economy. Zaprezentowali obszary związane z tą koncepcją oraz typy usług, jakie stwarza ona w przypadku miejskich systemów transportowych. Ponadto odnieśli się także do często skomplikowanej dla użytkowników anglojęzycznej nomenklatury, określającej konkretne usługi systemowe. Omówione zostały pojęcia takie, jak car-sharing, bike-sharing, skuter-sharing, peer-to-peer car-sharing, ride-sourcing, ride-sharing czy car-pooling. Celem pracy było przybliżenie koncepcji sharing economy w nawiązaniu do miejskich systemów transportowych.

The work was dedicated to urban transport systems and its complementation by the sharing economy idea. Authors presented the sharing economy concept, its areas and types of services connected with urban transport systems. In addition, they also referred to the often complicated for users, characteristic for transportation part of sharig economy nomenclature. Issues such as car-sharing, bikesharing, scooter-sharing, peer-to-peer car-sharing, ride-sourcing, ride-sharing or car-pooling have been discussed. The aim of the work was to present the concept of sharing economy in relation to urban transport systems.
