Carsharing_in_Moscow
Carsharing in Moscow is a rapidly developing type of public transport in the city. As of January 2020 Moscow has the largest fleet of carsharing vehicles in the world which counts more than 30,000 cars ahead of such megacities as Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai. In Moscow, more than 150,000 trips are made by carsharing cars every day. The largest carsharing operator in Moscow is Delimobil which has a fleet of 17,000 cars.[1]

In 2019 the fleet of carshare vehicles in Moscow reached 30,000, almost double from the previous year, outpacing expectations.[2][3] Some industry insiders say there is a potential for as many as 100,000 carshare vehicles to eventually become available.
In addition to preferential municipal parking for carsharing vehicles, the Moscow Government exempts electric vehicles from paying transport tax.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and the head of Yandex Arkady Volozh participated in an event dedicated to the launch of Yandex.Drive's electric vehicles in late September 2019.[4]
Thirty electric Nissan Leafs branded by Yandex.Drive became available in Moscow in 2019. A number of electric vehicles of different models are also available from other carsharing operators.[5]

On 1 August 2014, the Moscow City Pay-Parking System is expanding to the boundaries of the Third Ring Road, which serves to raise the attention on carsharing as part of the Public Transportation System.
2015
Due to the low commercial success of carsharing in St Petersburg, StreetCar closes down[23] and Anytime stops operating its branch in St Petersburg, focusing on the Moscow market.
In 2015, Moscow's paid parking zone expanded beyond the Third Ring Road, giving a huge boost to carsharing in Russia.
Vincenzo Trani launched his own carsharing service Delimobil in September 2015.[24]
A new BelkaCar carsharing service was announced.
Anytime launches a truck rental service for small trucks.[25]
