2021.09.28 - 20 Minutes (FR)

The Alsace group Lohr is starting to deliver its first mass-produced electric shuttles from Corsica to Saverne (France), before perhaps one day, Strasbourg. The first mass-produced Cristal urban shuttles, 100% electric and modular, designed by the Alsace group Lohr industrie, are to be delivered to Corsica. Cristal has the particularity of being able to respond quickly and differently to the management of passenger flows. In Strasbourg, a request for proposals will be launched to replace the buses on line 15. If the Lohr group is chosen, 10 to 15 Cristals could be in service on Strasbourg streets by September 2022.

The LOHR Group, the European leader in car transporters and pioneer of rolling motorways, is also making a name for itself in the promising sector of new mobilities. Cristal, its new model of modular electric urban shuttle, is looking to conquer local authorities convinced by these local transport services to strengthen their public transport networks. After several experimentation phases, Cristal will be deployed in four towns during the first half of 2021, Avignon, Orange, Ajaccio and Saverne. The company is also staying local for the development and manufacture of Cristal.

Is a tour of Bled (Slovenia) by electric train a possibility in the future?

2020.09.25 - 24ur.com (FR)

Tourism in Bled has fallen sharply due to Coronavirus, but the town remains popular with national tourists during the summer season. People like to go for a trip around the lake in a tourist train and there is currently also an electric bus running around Bled to which additional vehicles could be added if there are more passengers. This would be similar to a train, which would also be a more environmentally-friendly alternative.
