Transformative Or
Not So Much?

About Us
Swedavia AB is the state-owned actor responsible to operate all the larger airports in Sweden. Our biggest airport is Arlanda, serving
Stockholm and the surrounding region with 27 million passengers last year. Stockholm is followed by Landvetter, serving Gothenburg and its
surrounding region with 7 million passengers in 2018. Swedavia overall had 42 million passengers during 2018.

Moving closer to the topic of carsharing, we have resources dedicated to managing and further developing what we call Parking, Entry and
Mobility. Revenue-wise, parking is the biggest part of this. We manage just over 30,000 spaces designated for different uses. However, our
mission is to facilitate all the ways that passengers — as well as providers serving them and other aspects of our facilities — come into, dwell at
and depart from our airports.
Point One
Our goal at Swedavia is for Parking, Entry and Mobility to serve its customers in the most environmentally friendly, efficient and effective ways
possible. Our goal is not to advance carsharing per-se. It is to identify and embrace what will be the best range of ways for individual
travelers and service providers to enter and depart from our airports. From this perspective, we believe carsharing shows great potential
looking into the future.

This is with a future perspective because carsharing as strictly defined -- meaning closely available, hassle-free access to vehicles rented over
typically short time periods (often mere hours) -- has not in itself become a big deal for us yet.
Point Two
Where resource sharing happens is not so much a function of the current state of technology society has available to it as much as it is a
function of how society wants to organize and utilize its resources.

In Sweden, much still must change to support carsharing. The government is already admirably progressive but still needs to go further with
revising laws and regulations. All manner of private enterprises must challenge themselves to more aggressively embrace it. And existing
actors along with entrepreneurial entrants must move capital and other resources — particularly creative, business and technical talent —
toward it as well.
Point Three
We see ourselves still in the early stages of supporting strict carsharing. Our principal carsharing partner today is SunFleet. Our first
arrangement to support them was introduced in 2014. We additionally had an arrangement with DriveNow. However, they decided in autumn
2018 to exit the Stockholm region market for the time being.

Today, we estimate that annual strict carsharing represents well under 1% of all the means by which parties transport themselves to and from
our airports. But our car rental partners, not surprisingly, view themselves as long-running actors in this market when a less limiting and likely
more correct definition of it is applied. It is more useful to recognize that these services will continue to morph and evolve as entirely new
disruptive actors enter the market too.

We intensively work with product and service development for the mobility area. The present pricing model we use for carsharing is to
charge for the allotted parking area. In the future, the pricing could include a charge per vehicle taken out, closer to our practice with car
rentals.
Point Four
This is no unimportant topic. It is a sub-topic of the most important topic of all, our need to move much faster to save the planet. We need to
dramatically accelerate our efforts to introduce new ways of using resources with far greater efficiency while also achieving zero carbon
results. Part of Swedavia's mission is to lead in these efforts.

We believe much is in motion. However, much more is needed. Most crucially, we need private individuals to create greater demand by
further embracing what carsharing already offers.

Stated more directly: WE … NEED … YOU!

THANK YOU!
