Abstract

The shared mobility, as an emerging shared economy business mode, has been changing the travelling style of Chinese citizens. This study draws the annual data in year 2018 from DiDi Chuxing, as well as other survey and statistical data, to evaluate the shared mobility influence on energy consumption, emission and transportation structure, in the comprehensive national level. The results indicate that the substitution effects of shared mobility are conducive to energy saving and emission reduction, by the number of 371 thousand toe for energy savings, as well as 518 thousand tons CO2 emission reductions, respectively in year 2018. The shared mobility platform could prioritize the transportation structure, and promote the penetration of electric vehicles with better cost returns. The big data from the platform now is used for smart traffic light control, ending up with 47 toe energy savings in 8 applied cities, and other emission reduction benefits.
