The inauguration took place on February 19 in Val Thorens, France.
This innovation, by NAVYA and Autocars bertolami, opens up the field of possibilities for non-polluting autonomous mobility in the mountains.
Val Thorens was chosen to experiment with this virtuous project: on Tuesday 19 February, for the first time, an autonomous 4-wheel drive electric shuttle started for a loop in a district of the resort.
The objective by the end of the season on Sunday, May 5, is to have the shuttle running in the heart of the resort. The experimentation of this new mode of transport involves 3 variables: the autonomous shuttle, the station infrastructure and the autonomous passenger.
