On November 16, at the launch ceremony of Didi's world's first shared travel online car-hailing D1, Didi Chuxing CEO Cheng Wei said that the contradiction between the rapidly rising number of private cars in the city and the supply of road space resources is still traveling the biggest issue.

Looking back at Didi’s 8 years of development, the response rate of online ride-hailing has increased from 65% to 90%, the pick-up time has dropped from 6 minutes to 3 minutes, the carpool rate has risen from 27% to 75%, and traffic accidents have dropped by 34%. The conflict rate was reduced by 59%.

We hope that the birth of D1 will promote automobile operators to pay per kilometer for use, and serve the entire upstream industry chain for energy service providers like electricity bills. (D1) The surface is a new car, behind it is a new model, a new evolutionary speed, and a new direction, which will bring new changes to the entire travel traffic." Cheng Wei said.
