Weiler Mobil Weiler Mobil

With the motto “We take our energy supply into our own hands”, the WeilerWärme cooperative strives to implement an independent, sustainable and environmentally friendly overall concept for energy production and supply. It began with a heat network and intended to build its own power grid. Of course, the topic of mobility is also an important one. Especially against the background of the question of what to do with the surplus green electricity generated on-site, the entry into the areas of electric mobility and car sharing was therefore obvious to the cooperative’s board of directors. Without further ado, a third pillar of the cooperative was literally put on the road under the brand name “WeilerMobil”. In the summer of 2014, the first electric cars and electric bicycles were purchased and rented to the cooperative members (and all other citizens, albeit at higher prices). In addition, the first four charging stations were installed in the village by the cooperative. The car-sharing runs via the cooperative’s simple online booking portal and is very well accepted in the village. Many private households use the cooperative’s vehicles as second cars, and many businesses and institutions – such as the local social centre – also regularly use vehicles from the cooperative’s fleet.
