METACAR MOBILITY SYSTEMS

They are offered in car-sharing in city centres and suburban areas, in stations in the form of individual vehicles available to users. They allow users of peri-urban areas to complete, in a non-polluting manner, a journey by public transport or car-sharing by making the first kilometres from their journey to their final destination. It therefore applies both to people whose homes are in suburban areas and to those whose jobs are in them.

The ability of vehicles to combine into a road train and be driven ‘in a group’ by a single operator allows them to be redistributed to ensure station availability. This redistribution is carried out by a professional operator (users only drive isolated vehicles, operators only redistribute empty vehicles): when a station empties, it is refilled by a convoy from a saturated station. This innovation enables one-way home-to-work journeys to be serviced to dispersed destinations such as residential or employment areas.

The Lib’RT concept aims to reduce the use of private cars by supplementing the use of public transport or car pooling. These are small electric vehicles that are interlocking and mechanically coupled to station stops, to form compact and redistribuble road trains.
