Ikea Leko is Car Sharing not Car Making

Fast Company recently reported today that the mysterious cloth draped car called the ‘Ikea Leko’ is actually a car sharing program in conjunction with Comuto, the French ride-sharing company behind Covoiturage.fr, for 26 IKEA locations in France. The service will be similar to the Ikea/zipcar program in the US pictured above.

While we’re bummed that the reveal won’t be either a real car or a clever April fools internet hoax, it is nice to see the retailer expanding this service to more locations.
