GoShare Taiwan Ltd (睿能數位服務), an electric scooter sharing service provider, yesterday said it is partnering with nine enterprises to provide tailor-made scooter sharing and rental fleets to broaden the scope of its services.
GoShare, a subsidiary of electric scooter maker Gogoro Inc (睿能創意), said that its new enterprise partners aim to accumulate 1 million trips in the first year of the service’s launch.
That would reduce carbon emissions in Taiwan by approximately 350,000kg, GoShare head Henry Chiang (姜家煒) said in a statement.
Goshare’s new partners include Visa Taiwan Co (台灣威士卡), Microsoft Corp, Domino’s Pizza, Far EasTone Telecommunications Co (遠傳電信) and Breeze Group (微風集團), Chiang said.
Breeze Group, which operates five department stores in Taiwan, said it would encourage its employees to use GoShare’s electric scooters to run errands or for their daily commute.
In addition to fleet rentals, GoShare said it offers fleet management services, scooter maintenance services and data collection, such as usage records of employees.
The new “GoShare for Business” project is to be launched on Tuesday next week, it said.
Since its debut in August last year, GoShare has accumulated 800,000 users who have made a combined 6.5 million trips, the company said.
Its electric scooter sharing services are available in Taoyuan, Taipei and New Taipei City, including popular sightseeing spots on the northern coast, the company said.
With the new services, GoShare is directly competing with Wemo Corp (威摩科技), which primarily provides electric scooters for enterprises.
Local rivals also include Hotai Leasing Corp’s (和運租車) iRent electric scooter sharing service.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) is “managing offshore production levels to address storage requirements,” the company said in a statement, without giving details. Kuwait Petroleum Corp said it was lowering production at its oil fields and refineries after “Iranian threats against safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.” The war in the Middle East has all but closed Hormuz, the narrow waterway linking the Persian Gulf to the open seas,
Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) yesterday said the DRAM supply crunch could extend through 2028, as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom has led the world’s major memory makers to dramatically reduce production of standard DRAM and allocate a significant portion of their capacity for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. The most severe supply constraints would stretch to the first half of next year due to “very limited” increases in new DRAM capacity worldwide, Nanya Technology president Lee Pei-ing (李培瑛) told a news briefing. The company plans to increase monthly 12-inch wafer capacity to 20,000 in the first half of 2028 after a
Taiwan has enough crude oil reserves for more than 100 days and sufficient natural gas reserves for more than 11 days, both above the regulatory safety requirement, Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin (龔明鑫) said yesterday, adding that the government would prioritize domestic price stability as conflicts in the Middle East continue. Overall, energy supply for this month is secure, and the government is continuing efforts to ensure sufficient supply for next month, Kung told reporters after meeting with representatives from business groups at the ministry in Taipei.

The six cities recorded a total of 10,480 property transfers last month, down 42.5 percent from January and marking the second-lowest monthly level on record, the data showed. “The sharp drop largely reflected seasonal factors and tighter credit conditions,” Evertrust Rehouse Co (永慶房屋) deputy research manager Chen Chin-ping (陳金萍) said.
