Studies show that a private car stands around unused for an average of 23 hours per day. The emission a car release during its entire life span is to a large degree caused in the production process. Therefore, there is a need for more efficient use of cars. 

The concept of car sharing is growing across Europe. In Norway, Hyre is a digital platform for car sharing. Through the platform you can book the cars and drive.Each car has a designated parking spot which makes it easy to return the cars.

With Hyre you can choose between short term (1 hour) or long term (full weekend) rental. For car owners it means you don’t need to worry about repairs, safety inspection, vehicle tax or tire changes. Further, car sharing can increase societal interaction. Reduction in the number of produced cars reduce material extraction and CO2 emissions. Car sharing might also reduce cars in the cities and thereby reduce congestion, the need for parking spaces and have positive effects on air quality.
