It deploys premium vehicles such as BMW Mini, Mercedes-Benz Smart, Audi A3, and Jeep Renegade in major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Xi’an, with a fleet of at least 1,000 cars per city. The company leverages technologies like Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and AI for efficient fleet utilization to address profitability challenges in the asset-heavy car-sharing sector. In late 2017, TOGO raised a Series B2 round described as 'US$ tens of millions,' led by SIG (SIG China/SIG Asia Investments) with participation from ZhenFund and Crescent Point. Sources also reference a $22M Series B on Oct 1, 2017, and cumulative funding exceeding US$72M (RMB500M) across five rounds by then. Claims of profitability in Beijing and near break-even in Shenzhen and Xi’an are noted, alongside CEO Wang Lifeng's view of a 'hundreds of billions' market opportunity in China upon shifting user mindsets from car ownership to sharing. TOGO emphasizes scale for profitability amid conventional challenges like long ROI cycles in car-sharing. |
