LOHR: It pays to buy local

2021.01.11 - Point éco Alsace (FR)

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.

The LOHR industrial group named after its founder, Robert Lohr, was created in 1963 just outside Strasbourg. It started by building car transporters, then military vehicles before turning to rail-road transport systems and new mobility solutions as the twenty-first century drew near. By road or rail, in town, (almost) everything runs on LOHR...
