NAVLY : The new autonomous public transport solution operating in LYON by NAVYA and KEOLIS

Published on Sep 2, 2016

Navya and Keolis join forces to create NAVLY, the very first public transport service operated by an autonomous electric vehicle.

NAVYA, specialists in developing innovative mobility solutions and the KEOLIS Group, a world leader in public passenger transport are joining forces to offer a 100% electric, autonomous and driverless public transport service called NAVLY.

This service of driverless autonomous shuttles intends to rise to the challenges laid down by urban mobility and meet its future requirements. NAVLY will be an addition to the traditional modes of transport already offered (bus, tram and underground) and will complement new ways of getting around such as the Velo’V (bicycle sharing system) and carsharing services, offering an efficient, innovative and intelligent alternative.

Created with the support of la M?tropole de Lyon and le Sytral (responsible for all transport solutions in the Lyon Metropolitan area), Navly collectively responds to the pressing new urban challenges faced in our cities of the future. This public/private collaboration aims to promote the creation of brand new services for users and enable innovative businesses with an outlook on sustainable development, mobility, energy saving, the environment and quality of life to emerge. This operation is endorsed by the French Agency for Environment and Energy management (ADEME).
