The Department of Labour and Economic Affairs supports the electric car hire scheme as part of the Munich Employment and Qualification Programme (MBQ). The project organiser is Anderwerk with the social enterprise Lernstatt Kfz and Elektro Feldkirchen, which employ long-term unemployed people for the service and thus pave the way back into working life for them. The project is being realised in close cooperation with Hellabrunn Zoo and the city's advisory council for the disabled.
