PSA is interested in offering a "free floating" car-sharing scheme in Paris, where drivers could pick up a vehicle and leave it elsewhere in the city, and is in contact with city authorities about it, the carmaker told a French newspaper.
The comments come as Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo is due to meet on Monday with representatives from carmakers PSA, Renault , BMW and Daimler as well as start-ups involved in car-sharing to discuss potential alternatives to Autolib, the electric car-sharing scheme run by the Bollore group.
A row has erupted between the city of Paris and the Bollore group, which is asking the city and local authorities to contribute 46 million euros ($54 million) a year to help pay off debt the scheme has run up. "Paris is the kind of city that interests us ... Free floating can be viable in Paris as there is a strong density of potential clients. We are in contact with the municipality.
