This project is cantered around a strategic opportunity to launch a new car club in Newport, with the aim of enhancing mobility solutions while expanding Enterprise Car Club’s market reach. The proposal evaluates Newport's unique geographic, demographic, and infrastructural characteristics to determine how a car-sharing service can successfully integrate into the city's existing transport ecosystem. By examining population density, transportation networks, and local household dynamics, the project identifies the most suitable strategies for introducing a sustainable, customer-centric car club. The purpose of the proposal is to address the untapped potential for car-sharing services in Newport, where 23% of households lack car ownership and demand for flexible, cost-effective mobility solutions is growing, this finding can be seen in section 5.1.3. Through detailed analysis of the city's urban layout and demographic profile, the project aims to develop tailored recommendations that align Enterprise Car Club’s services with the specific needs of Newport’s residents. The analysis revealed that Newport’s well-established transport links, such as the M4 motorway and local bus services, make it a strategic location for a car club launch. However, the current car club distribution is concentrated in the southeast, leaving significant gaps in the northern and western parts of the city. Additionally, Newport’s household income is slightly below the national average, signalling the need for affordable pricing structures to make the service accessible to a broad range of users. Key recommendations include expanding the car club service to underserved regions of the city, particularly the north and west, to ensure equitable access. Furthermore, targeted marketing campaigns should focus on the 23% of households without a car, while offering tiered membership plans that cater to cost-sensitive users and larger families. To optimise vehicle availability, the use of traffic data is recommended to better position vehicles in high-demand areas during peak times. Finally, integrating car club locations with public transportation hubs will enhance accessibility, ensuring the service is well-aligned with the city’s overall mobility network. This proposal outlines a comprehensive strategy for the successful launch and operation of a car club in Newport, positioning Enterprise Car Club to capture a significant share of the city’s growing demand for urban mobility solutions.
