Founded as Collect Car B.V. on June 21 1995 by Gijs van Lookeren Campagne and Jan Borghuis, whom were inspired by car sharing by German students in the 1980s.[5] 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 (founded in 1994 as StattAuto Hamburger CarSharing GmbH) in 2004. The car sharing firm received a financial boost by Dutch entrepreneur Eckart Wintzen[6] in 1997. By the end of 2005, Greenwheels owned 98.5% of StattAuto shares. Greenwheels also operates in London as Greenwheels UK.
