Abstract
This introductory chapter briefly outlines the main characteristics of car-sharing services and the main assumptions that authors of this book took into account for designing the innovative service that was the outcome of Green Move project. The second part of the chapter illustrates the overall organization of the book, and the main contents of the three sections: the service, focused on the Green Move service design, the technology, illustrating the technologic solutions realized for the project, and the simulation model, implemented for estimating the performances of different alternatives of car-sharing.

Whereas the target vehicles considered in the Green Move project were all electric, in fact the technology developed in the project could be adapted also to other kinds of vehicles, including those with internal combustion of hybrid engines.
