2025 Barometer at a Glance
The 2025 National Car‑Sharing Barometer, published on 24 June by the Association of Car‑Sharing Actors (AAA) together with LAET and ADEME, confirms the sector’s steady rise:
1.02 million people in France are now registered with a car‑sharing service (+11.5 % in one year).
185 million kilometres driven in 2024 (+2 % vs 2023).
13 862 vehicles available (+3.7 % year‑on‑year) — three times fewer than in Germany; the industry aims for 70 000 vehicles by 2030, which would save 1 Mt of CO₂.
More than 25 operators now serve every type of area, from city centres to rural regions.
On LinkedIn, the AAA highlights that “one station‑based shared car replaces five to eight private cars” — clear proof of the model’s impact on reducing car ownership.
A Key Solution for the Ecological Transition and Purchasing Power
Beyond record figures, the barometer underlines three major levers:
Decarbonisation: reaching 70 000 shared cars by 2030 would avoid one million tonnes of CO₂ compared with 2023.
Multimodality: car‑sharing users take public transport more often (+18 %), rail (+29 %), cycling (+22 %) and walking (+38 %).
Household budgets: 80 % of users say sharing a car costs them less than owning one.
Clem’ : a Leading Driver of Growth
Among the operators cited — Agilauto Partage, Réseau Citiz, Communauto, Leo&Go, Getaround, and others — Clem’ stands out for its territorial coverage and turnkey solutions for local authorities and companies.
Neighbourhood‑level innovation: electric vehicles and charge‑points located where they’re needed most (stations, town halls, France Services centres).
Energy mix: a predominantly electric fleet to maximise carbon savings.
Flexible usage: B2B sharing during the day, B2C in the evenings and at weekends to optimise utilisation.
With grow coming from both municipalities and real estate, Clem’ is fully contributing to the 70 000‑vehicle target and proving that car‑sharing is no longer limited to big cities.
What the AAA Recommends
The barometer calls on policy‑makers to speed things up:
Install a shared car outside every France Services centre, town hall or railway station.
Create unified access to all services via open platforms.
Support local investment (parking spaces, charge‑points, start‑up grants).
These measures can be rolled out quickly and cost‑effectively while addressing both climate goals and household budgets.
In Conclusion
Passing the symbolic milestone of one million users heralds a new phase: car‑sharing is now an essential pillar of French mobility. At Clem’, we are proud to be part of this collective journey and to offer, every day, a simple, affordable and low‑carbon alternative to private car ownership.
