Abstract

Private car ownership in the context of the ongoing urbanization is creating challenges concerning environmental pollution, high energy costs, and limited and expensive parking. As a reaction to these negative impacts, companies are developing new mobility alternatives to private car ownership. One alternative is carsharing that provides individuals with cars from a fleet on an as-needed basis. To create a conceptual structuring of the topic of carsharing, we conduct a literature review identifying 93 articles and six concepts, i.e., market analysis, location, travel behavior, information systems, electric carsharing, and sustainability. Findings are discussed and implications for information systems research are given.
