13. Mai 1987
13th May, 1987: 8 individuals established 'ATG', 'AutoTeilet Genossenschaft' (AutoTeilet Cooperative) and share one car.
Those years marked the start of public discussions around environmental problems. In the heart of Switzerland, 8 individuals needed a car, but did not really want to invest in a car each. They decided to buy one car for all of them: a red Opel Kadett Hatchback: the establishment of the ATG AutoTeilet Cooperative. The source of that name is the Swiss tradition of cheese sharing when eating a Swiss cheese fondue: 'Chästeilet' (cheese sharing). This should be associated with their demotic, collective and democratic idea.

For similar reasons, but completely independent from ATG, the 'ShareCom Cooperative' was established in Zürich only a few days later: 17 individuals started to share one car.
Over the years, first cooperations between ATG and ShareCom happened. This allowed for instance a cross use of services offered and technical innovations simplified the reservation process.
