The first Shop’n Go car sharing and charging station opened at Carrefour Market store in Milan
ITALY, 2016-Nov-01 — /EPR Retail News/ — The first Shop’n Go car sharing and charging station was launched on October 25th at the Carrefour Market store at 79/81, Via Farini in Milan. This is the first of eight Shop’n Go car sharing stations to be installed at Carrefour Market supermarkets. The stations will all be active by the end of the year, with 30 charging spaces and up to 40 parking places in total.
From today, the supermarket’s customers will be able to use the free floating car sharing service and can take advantage of a number of benefits, including 30 minutes of free parking for every shop and 50 minutes of free driving for every 1,000 payback points.
The initiative is part of efforts to raise customer awareness of the advantages of shared and electric mobility for environmental sustainability, promoting eco-sustainable and efficient behaviour, including in urban areas and particularly in major cities such as Milan.
The partnership with Share’ngo is a further example of Carrefour’s commitment to environmental sustainability, as is the recent achievement of UNI CEI EN ISO 50001 certification, which certifies that all Carrefour Italy’s energy management processes are well-managed and controlled, and makes the Group’s Italian operations some of the best in the world.
