  • Greenwheels is een Nederlands particulier en zakelijk autodeelbedrijf. Greenwheels, een merk van Collect Car B.V., werd in 1995 in Rotterdam opgericht door Gijs van Lookeren Campagne en Jan Borghuis. De oprichters vonden het inefficiënt dat een auto het grootste deel van de dag stilstaat. Een stilstaande auto neemt niet alleen een parkeerplaats in beslag, maar kost ook geld. Negentig procent van autokosten bestaat uit vaste kosten, de overige 10% zijn de variabele kosten van brandstof. De conclusie die de oprichters daaruit trokken was dat het economisch efficiënter en milieuvriendelijker is als een auto meerdere gebruikers heeft. (nl)
