Cristal, 100% electric, modular and connected

cristal by Lohr

Cristal is designed to offer the operators a modular public transport mobility solution.

100% electric, Cristal offers an easy-to-use & comfortable shared mobility experience, accessible to all, everywhere. Designed with a «public transport» approach in mind, the Cristal system has a variety of uses as a linking shuttle service, or replacing buses on pre-existing lines.

A new way of shared mobility

Cristal solution constantly adapts to the number of passengers (1 to 4 shuttles coupled).

This complete offer underlines its unique and highly innovative character.

The benefits

With its range of Cristal (driven shuttles) and Cristalya (autonomous shuttles) vehicles, Lohr meets the mobility needs of local communities, with or without a driver. These transport solutions can be used in new 100% Cristal or Cristalya lines or supplement existing networks by offering multiple uses: public transport or on-demand services. Designed and developed for MaaS (Mobility as a Service) solutions, Cristal and Cristalya are complementary to mass transit systems and can be operated intermodally.
