Momo Car-Sharing was a car-sharing program conducted by Intelligent Energy Europe to promote alternatives to car ownership. It had a total budget of €2,693,644, half of which was co-financed by the European Union (EU). The project name momo was taken from the phrase "more options for energy efficient mobility through car-sharing".
The project started 1 October 2008 and included 14 partners from various EU countries. The International Association of Public Transport and Bundesverband CarSharing (the German association for car-sharing) also supported the project.
The program was part of a presentation by the city of Bremen in the Urban Best Practice Area at the World Exposition EXPO 2010 in Shanghai.[1] The momo-project was presented in workshops on the EXPO and served as a reference for the inauguration of Car-Sharing in Shanghai.
The Bremen Car-Sharing Action Plan has also received the Travel Planning Award 2010[2] of the German Town Planner's Association SRL.

Project objectives
Momo was designed as a component to reach the EU targets in the fields of transport, energy and the reduction of CO2 emissions. This European project aimed at raising the efficiency and attractiveness of Car-Sharing in Europe. By building on the potential of Car-Sharing in regards to saving energy, minimising greenhouse gases and improving the quality of urban live,[3][4] a significant increase of the Car-Sharing services and the Car-Sharing demand had been aimed for. To reach those goals the project partner designed a concept that included all relevant stakeholders at most. These are next to local authorities and Car-Sharing providers, public transport providers, energy agencies and research facilities.
The project expected to have the following results:[5]
- more than 20,000 new car-sharers
- the reduction of about 58,000GJ p.a. and CO2 emissions of 6,000t p.a
- to replace 3,500 private cars and gain free space due to less parking spaces needed
- to acquire new regions where no car-share is present at the moment, with a special focus on Ireland, Finland and Greece
