New mobility hub with e-car sharing in Tirolo

On Friday, 9 January 2026, the newly redesigned Schöpf car park was officially unveiled to the public. From now on, various modes of transport – such as bicycles, e-car-sharing and buses – can be conveniently combined at this central location.
The municipality of Tirol is thus consistently committed to future-proof, sustainable and versatile mobility.

The car park at the entrance to the village is centrally located and easily accessible. As well as the option to charge private electric vehicles at public charging points, two electric car-sharing vehicles are now available for hire. The facilities are complemented by a new, covered and secure cycle parking area, as well as direct access to the bus stop below. All transport options are bundled in such a way that switching between them is simple and convenient – with the aim of promoting integrated mobility within the village.

New signposts highlight the available options and make it easier to find your way around. The project was designed by Merano-based architect Jörg Stanzel and carried out by the construction company Kienzl Christian.

Two new car-sharing vehicles

The local council has decided to lease two electric car-sharing vehicles under a partnership scheme. They will not only be used for council business but, above all, will be available to the village community as affordable ‘shared cars’. Associations, businesses and tourists will also be able to make flexible use of the service in future. The two VW ID.3s are available to registered users round the clock. Bookings and access are managed via the AlpsGo app. Registration is available either with no fixed costs or via a subscription model. The subscription based tariff costs €3 per hour and €0.28 per kilometre. The one-off registration fee of €19 is credited in part or in full as travel credit to holders of the Altoadige Pass or Alperia customers.

Less traffic, fewer cars

With this initiative, Tyrol is making a concrete contribution to the expansion of South Tyrol’s e-car-sharing network and supporting the objectives of the South Tyrol Climate Plan. The focus is on complementing public transport, user-friendliness and the smart integration of transport modes. Thanks to public funding from the province, the financial burden on the municipality remains manageable.

Mayor Christoph Pircher on the new mobility service:

“Today, local authorities need attractive mobility solutions that are suitable for everyday use. In rural areas in particular, many people have no real alternative to owning their own car – and we want to change that. What’s more, this should enable some Tyrolean families to do without at least one of their third or second cars.”

Daniela Trintinaglia, President of AlpsGo, adds:

 “We are proud to now be able to launch our municipal car-sharing service in Tyrol as well. Our aim is to give as many people in South Tyrol as possible access to sustainable, affordable and flexible mobility options.”
