Three companies will initially test vehicles on roadways in France and Israel, aiming to ready technology designs for production by 2022; Jerusalem-based Mobileye said Thursday it signed an agreement to develop and deploy self-driving shuttles in Europe, with the objective of making self-driving public transportation a daily reality.
On-Road Testing to Start Next Year with Commercial Services Expected in 2023
JERUSALEM, Israel, and PARIS and STRASBOURG, France, Feb. 25, 2021 - Mobileye, an Intel Company, Transdev Autonomous Transport System (ATS), part of Transdev Group dedicated to autonomous mobility solutions; and Lohr Group, a mobility solutions manufacturer, today announced a strategic collaboration to develop and deploy autonomous shuttles.
The Saverne inhabitants have at last had a chance to see it in action. The E-Lico electric shuttle, which will be brought into service in June 2021 in the Rohan district, is in its test phase during the week from 1 to 6 February. The goal is to ensure that the route and stops for this new free public transport service are adapted.
Successive governments have been seeking to develop rail motorways for a number of years. In 2022, the first rail motorway of the Atlantic seaboard connecting Cherbourg to Bayonne could come into service. Work has already begun in Normandy and Pays de Loire.
On the railway line between Perpignan and Luxembourg, trains have to withstand wind currents up till 140 kmph. For the transport of semi-trailers, only the Lohr wagosn are permitted to operate on the stretch where these winds occur. Could this be an example for the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark? ...
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.
After years of research and development, prototypes and experiments, Cristal, the modular electric shuttle by Lohr, has won its first calls for tender and is generating interest from local authorities, particularly in Alsace.
The Saverne municipality has finally decided to undertake this long-standing inter-community project alone initially. Two electric shuttles have been ordered from Lohr to reconnect the neighbourhoods to the town centre.
