At constant scope and exchange rates, compared to the first quarter of 2015, the major business lines changed as follows:
Electricity Storage & Solutions: The turnover of industrial activities (electricity storage, plastic films, dedicated terminals and systems) increased by 17% compared with first quarter 2015, benefiting from the increase in plastic film activity, growth in Bluecar and Bluebus sales, and steady growth in car sharing, with a fleet of 4,700 electric vehicles, and 1,300 charging stations equipped with 7,400 charging terminals. Since December 2011, 290,000 individual users have subscribed in France (Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux) and in the United States (start of the service in Indianapolis in September 2015), of which 109,000 are active premium annual subscribers (compared with 77,000 at end-April, 2015, an increase of 42%). Car-sharing represents approximately 5.3 million rentals per year.
vehicles in Italy. Based on the Autolib' model in Paris, Bluetorino aims to deploy nearly 250 vehicles and 450 charging terminals in Turin over the next two years.
Results in Communications remain driven by the good performance of Havas. As announced, expenses are increasing in the promising area of Electricity Storage. The Transportation & Logistics business continues to post good results in the United States, Europe and Asia, whereas the performance of African activities has been penalized by lower oil and commodities prices.
