Expansion of the car sharing offers in Hamburg

The city of Hamburg moves into a new era of mobility. Last week the 200th HVV Switch point was inaugurated in Bergedorf, which is seen as an important step towards a sustainable urban mobility culture. With more than a thousand parking spaces for car sharing at 22 expressway stops and in 178 residential areas, the system offers citizens a flexible and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional means of transport

availability in different districts

The distribution of the HVV Switch points shows the committed mobility strategy of the city. There are 69 car sharing locations in Hamburg-Nord, while Eimsbüttel and Altona follow 39 and 33 points each. Other districts such as Hamburg-Mitte offer 24 locations, and Harburg and Wandsbek each have 15 points. Bergedorf itself will be strengthened with five new locations, including Habermannstrasse and Walter-Rudolphi.

climate protection and urban mobility

Robert Henrich, CEO of the Hochbahn, emphasizes the growing demand for attractive mobility solutions: "Many people in Hamburg want intelligent alternatives to a private car". These car sharing initiatives not only offer a contribution to reducing traffic, but also promote climate protection by reducing CO2 emissions by lower use of private vehicles.

The role of the HVV Switch app

A central element of the HVV Switch concept is the associated app, which enables users to book various sharing offers and to access car sharing vehicles in real time. This digital interface simplifies access to mobility services and makes the sharing offer more attractive for everyone involved. The developments this year show that the Hochbahn has already set up at 50 new locations HVV Switch points, with another 15 planned in the second half of the year.

holistic approach of mobility

The long-term goal of HVV Switch is to make all relevant mobility offers in Hamburg accessible via a single smartphone application. This approach not only includes the classic public transport system, but also smart and needs-based services, for example through the integration of e-scooters and on-demand driving services. This is supposed to become more and less important for the private car for many Hamburgers, while alternative transport options come to the fore.

With the continuous expansion of the HVV Switch offer, Hamburg becomes a pioneer for sustainable mobility in urban areas. This strategy could be seen as a model for other cities that pursue similar goals in the area of ​​the traffic transition. Hamburg impressively shows how the latest technologies and innovative mobility solutions can work together to meet the needs of city dwellers.
