The SQY agglomeration is launching a new call for applications to develop car sharing in its territory. This self-service service which offers the pooling of vehicles, allowing the successive use of a car by different users, has already existed at SQY since 2020.
A start for September-October 2025
Launched by the Climate Energy Club of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, it is however dedicated to employees of companies such as Enedis, Banque populaire Val de France, Leoni and Assystem, and allows them to rent cars for travel professionals. “In 2023, vehicles have traveled more than 150,000 km,” reports an article from All the News.
It is now for use between individuals that the SQY agglomeration has launched a call for applications in order to find a new service provider who will offer car sharing in the 12 municipalities in its territory. Initially, the service will be offered “in a loop”, that is to say that the vehicles will leave and return to a starting point. And, to respect strict ecological standards, “only Crit'Air 1 or better vehicles will be authorized”, specifies the Agglomeration on its Facebook page.
-“We have launched the market procedure for the commissioning of this mode of transport in September-October 2025,” declared Jean-Baptiste Hamonic (MoDem), vice-president of SQY in charge of transport and sustainable mobility, during the community council meeting on December 19. Initially, the service should be deployed on around fifteen stations with “at least one station per municipality”, mentioned the vice-president.
With this call for applications, the Agglomeration continues to encourage intermodal practices around the car, after having set up the Start SQY network (the electric charging station service deployed in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines), welcomed relay car parks near stations such as at La Verrière, developed carpooling, or even launched the experiment with an induction charging station for electric vehicles (read our December 10 edition 2024).
Operators interested in developing this new service have until February 11, at 12 p.m., to apply. “The file must be provided in digital format to the address [email protected]. An electronic acknowledgment of receipt will be sent by the SQY Mobility Department to each candidate,” specifies the Agglomeration.
