context_page_description: Greenwheels is the largest carsharing corporation in the Netherlands and also operates in Germany. Operations in the United Kingdom ceased on 1 March 2013.
  Founded as Collect Car B.V. on 21 June 1995 by Gijs van Lookeren Campagne and Jan Borghuis, who were inspired by car sharing by German students in the 1980s. Now the biggest and most successful carsharing company of the Netherlands, Collect Car B.V., Rotterdam, - better known by its trademark 'Greenwheels' - bought the majority of the shares of StattAuto, a German carsharing company in 2004. The car sharing firm received a financial boost by Dutch entrepreneur Eckart Wintzen in 1997.
  By the end of 2005, Greenwheels owned 98.5% of StattAuto shares. Greenwheels also operated in London as Greenwheels UK until 1 March 2013. In April 2013 it was announced that a consortium consisting of the Volkswagen Financial Services AG and the Dutch VW importer Pon Holdings B.V. acquired an unspecified amount of shares in CollectCar B.V.
  Early 2016, the CarSharing company Quicar in Hannover was acquired by Volkswagen Leasing GmbH.
