China is quickly becoming a pioneer in new mobility, with a diverse range of services available including taxi-hailing platforms, chauffeur services, ride sharing, car sharing, and P2P car sharing. These services are offered by both B2B/B2C and P2P companies, and are largely inspired by models in other markets. Existing new mobility services in China include Didi Kuaidi, Uber, and Yiyi ZuChe. These services are defined as mobile applications in which users can order taxis, short-distance driving services with self-employed or company-employed chauffeurs, the sharing of a car ride between a driver and passenger(s) with the objective of sharing the ride cost, short-distance lending-of-vehicles services with the option of leaving the car at another location (open-loop) or returning it to the original location (closed-loop), and person-to-person lending-of-vehicles services in which car owners make their vehicles available for others to use.
