in March 10th, in Ji'nan, the partners riding on the sharing of the bicycle, heated discussion As long as we can share the car for a long time, friends have released a stop operation announcement, like a sudden spring cold, throwing a pot of cold water on the shared car industry. Recently, as a result of the heat of sharing a single car, shared cars are also regarded as the next Vester in the field of investment. This basin of cold water has been spilled, and it also gives the industry a wake up: the fat of the tuyere can not be bitten by anyone.
A friends used car in early spring
it is reported that friends and friends, founded in March 2014, are friends and friends in car rental. In the initial period, the private car sharing area was cut into P2P mode. In October 2015, it was formally renamed as a friend's car, mainly engaged in the new energy car rental business.
as of the first half of 2016, youyou owned 300 vehicles and distributed in nearly 70 outlets in Beijing office buildings, residential areas and suburbs. According to information, at the end of August last year, only 200 vehicles were left in Beijing's operation, and the number of operators was reduced to 50.
in March 10th, the stop operation bulletin issued by friendly friends showed that as the previous investment funds were not in place, in order to effectively protect the interests of the vast number of users, the management layer was carefully considered, and decided to return to all account deposits and stop operation. Friends with friends previously announced that the platform has taken two rounds of financing, accumulative over 20 million dollars, including the easy car, the speed of light, the peak Huaxing and angel investor Wang Gang and so on.
friend's car shutdown, the industry commentary said that the shared car has a high industry threshold, capital, resources, talent and operation of the four aspects of the lack of one, the entrepreneurial Internet Co to do new energy car rental is not easy.
B is difficult to realize with the use of
friend and friend. According to its own statement, it is mainly due to the problem of funds, but the existing experience pain points of the existing car model can not be ignored. If it is not solved well, there is a long way to go for the development of the shared car.
an example of a reporter's personal experience: a reporter downloaded a shared car APP, uploaded an ID card, a driver's license, and received a 699 yuan deposit in Beijing. The platform's vehicle adopts the mode of fixed pick up and return, and the vehicle must be transferred to the designated network. After choosing the location of the car, the reporter found the car point near the destination, and found that the two points of 1.2 km distance were all full, and only 2 kilometers away from the other car points. On the basis of a hint of navigation, there was no obvious warning sign for the parking lot because of the unfamiliarity. It led to a circle to stop, and then went to the destination by riding the motorbike for more than 10 minutes. The whole trip is 1 hours, 9 minutes, and 25 kilometers away, plus the cost of other places, excluding deductible expenses, which cost 47.9 yuan, slightly lower than the cost of taxi.
some of the more than 10 shared vehicle platforms that have been operated effectively, there are also the flags that follow the loan. But in addition to the fare to be charged in different places, the next tenant will pay the parking fee of the last parking lot, and some 40 yuan for the time to take the car.
C this year or the peak of the investment peak
from the network to the shared bike, the travel industry has become the investment vents, although there are still many problems, but the shared cars are still seen by many people as the next tuyere.
in the field of sharing cars, most of them use new energy vehicles, which is also a good policy. At present, including Shandong, Guangdong, Shanghai, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places are actively promoting the new energy vehicle split rent. People in the industry even said that 2017 is the key year for new energy vehicles' time sharing lease, and capital will also enter the peak investment stage this year.
but, as it has been reminded, the fat meat of the tuyere can not be bitten by anyone, and there are too many shared car disadvantages in heavy models compared with other shared economic projects: financial problems, license plates, parking problems, traffic problems, and so on, to a certain extent, to restrict the real success of the shared car. If the above problems are not solved well, there will be more platforms falling down after using friends.
