Car ownership has been the object of interest in various research areas. Studies on the topic focus especially on the influence of factors such as environment, life, family events, use, and availability, usually restricted to a given city or region. This paper focuses on recent studies that identified enablers, barriers, and trends related to car ownership in the automotive sector. We use an exploratory-qualitative approach based on systematic mapping of the literature to select papers published between 2019 and March 2021 on the Scopus database. As a result, we first classified the factors that act as enablers or barriers to the acquisition and maintenance of cars. These factors were divided into the following six groups: personal, cultural, political, economic, technological, and environmental. Next, we identified car-ownership-related trends for the automotive sector: purchase replaced by effective use; restrictions on car ownership; autonomous driving; sustainable mobility; new mobility models; customized customer service; real-time integrated modal communication, systematic global traffic, and integrated urban planning. We consider our findings to be relevant contributions to the industry in relation to establishing strategies and public administrators acting in the transportation planning field.

“…Chen et al (2020) andJensen et al (2013) demonstrate that experience with owning or using an EV significantly increases preferences for adopting or continuing to own future EVs. This personal experience and learning-by-doing aspect is a potentially important factor for adoption, indicating that once the initial hurdles and potential anxieties are overcome, consumers preferences can persistently shift Hoerler et al (2021). further shows that other alternative car-use experiences are also positively associated with EV adoptionspecifically in this case, use of car sharing.…”

“…In fact, Hartl et al [ 21 ] found that people preferred ride-sharing to using public transport. Public transport is perceived as a high COVID-19 transmitter, and others have shown very strong concerns about cleaning [ 21 ] and infection risk because public transportation does not guarantee adequate social distancing [ 11 ].…”

“…Car sharing is considered a social equity tool as well, ref. [ 11 ] because it can contribute to empower women by means of improving women’s possibilities for independent mobility [ 8 ]. Therefore, car sharing strategies can help governments in cities to promote the sustainable development goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 3 on gender equality, Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities, and Goal 13 on climate action [ 12 ].…”

Car sharing services have expanded in order to meet the new necessities of mobility worldwide in an innovative way. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, car sharing was a very popular mode of transportation among young adults in big cities. However, during this ongoing pandemic and with public transportation considered a super-spreading transmitter, the usage of car sharing is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study, which is explorative in nature, is to investigate the usage, advantages, drivers, and barriers to car sharing during this ongoing pandemic era. To this end, 66 interviews were conducted among users of car sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings provide key information for the planning of car sharing operations and public transportation in the context of avoiding COVID-19 infection and respecting the recommendations of local governments. In addition, new emerging profiles of car sharing users in the ongoing pandemic are identified. This research provides relevant insights for both business practice and policy makers.
