\nStartup Amber Mobility had already unveiled prior to XL Day that it is creating a new car sharing platform together with a large Dutch bank and a large car leasing company. But what it has kept quiet until today, is that it is going to do that with an electric car they have designed specifically for car sharing. The Amber One has a range of 400 km, a top speed of over 150 km \/ h and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 7 seconds. This is the first car in the world designed specifically for car sharing, with a lifespan of 1.5 million kilometers. It is completely modular, making maintenance easier and cheaper. The first prototypes will be on the road in 2017 and production will start one year later. The car will not be for sale, but customers can drive it for 33 euros per week.
