cambio CarSharing

The cambio Mobility Services GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2000 by the merger of carsharing company StadtteilAutoAachen, StadtAuto Bremen and Stadtauto Köln. StadtAuto Bremen and Stadtteilauto Aachen worked separately since 1990, Stadtauto Köln since 1992.

In 2000, Stadtteilauto Aachen brought a newly formed subsidiary into the group, the Saarmobil Carsharing GmbH. In October 2001, the Bielefeld carsharing company CityMobil joined the cambio Group.

In April 2003, the Oldenburg carsharing-club StadtTeilAuto was changed to cambio Oldenburg and also in 2003 cambio Hamburg was opened. cambio Belgium has been in Wallonia since 2000, since 2003 in Brussels, and since 2004 in Flanders. cambio Belgium has about 54,699 customers and 1826 cars at 668 stations (December 2021).

Since 2008, cambio exists in Berlin and under the name GoCar in Ireland (Dublin and Cork).

Cambio has developed in recent years from a series of acquisitions including Campus Mobile in 2009 and Carriba of the Stadtwerke Wuppertal in 2010 (and continued the service under its own brand)

Since March 2011, cambio and Greenpeace Energy have provided fully electric vehicles, which are usable in the city of Hamburg. The vehicles are charged from the surplus energy of 100% renewable energy power plants. In Cologne, electric vehicles will be offered from March 2012.
