Navya signs a new shuttle order in Germany

Contracts are piling up for the company specializing in the supply of autonomous mobility systems and associated services Navya. It has just signed the sale of an EVO shuttle, capable of transporting, without a driver, up to 15 passengers, in Landkreis Kronach, a district of the German federal state of Bavaria in Germany. This is the third shuttle ordered by the Landkreis Kronach, which already has two ARMA shuttles (11 seats, 4 standing), acquired as part of its mobility project SMO (Shuttle Modellregion Oberfranken).

This project has already enabled the deployment of six Navya autonomous shuttles distributed in three cities in northern Bavaria, Hof, Kronach and Bad Steben, as well as previously Rehau. To date, 20 shuttles have already been marketed by Navya in Germany, including 2 EVOs at the end of 2021, which will be put into operation in October 2022 to serve the spa town of Bad Staffelstein.

In mid-August, Navya signed a new partnership in Scotland, a first for the French group, with a view to commissioning an electric and autonomous shuttle to serve a three-kilometre route linking the Inverness campus to the commercial park and to the business district of the cultural capital of the Highlands. A week earlier, it had done the same in the United States, for the deployment of an autonomous shuttle at White Bear Lake. A pilot project lasting one year, which should make it possible to serve neighborhoods that did not benefit until then from shared mobility.
