Autolib'

Autolib': electric cars
On a similar basis to the Vélib' scheme, Paris plans to offer around 4,000 small electric cars for the general public's use, to be stationed at 700 locations. Potential suppliers of the car include the Dassault Group and Bolloré. The former's Cleanova model shares its body design with the Renault Kangoo van, while the Bolloré Blue Car is the result of a collaboration with Pininfarina. The scheme is planned to come into operation at the end of 2009.

There are also plans to integrate payment for the bike and car hire schemes with the ticketing systems for traditional modes of public transport.
