Autonomous Transport: Towards the Mobility of Tomorrow

We are convinced that shared autonomous transport will profoundly change the way we travel and more broadly live. We want to continue to develop inclusive, efficient and sustainable mobility by gradually integrating shared autonomous vehicles into transport networks. Many benefits are expected, including: 

  • Flexible, personalized and accessible services
  • Extended services (in time and/or in space) 
  • Reduced noise and atmospheric pollution (100% electric vehicles)
  • Improved safety and comfort
  • Better integrated and connected services for a superior customer experience.

International Experience

In 2005, we signed the first international contract to set up a fleet of autonomous shuttles in the district of Rivium in Rotterdam. Thanks to our presence in 17 countries, across five geographical zones, we set up a specific development plan with a dedicated team for each project.

It’s by combining our global mobility vision and local presence that we can develop unique, relevant offerings tailored to the needs and realities of your territories.

Business districts or private sites

What do business parks, ports, airports, hospitals, industrial sites and nuclear power stations all have in common? They are all private sites or sites with restricted access. Consequently, how can we make it easier for workers and visitors to travel to and within these areas, where access is limited and often prohibited for personal vehicles?

Mobility services in city centers

Accessing a city centre, tourist attraction, leisure complex or shopping centre represents a specific problem due to pedestrian areas, the management of arrival flows (by public transport or by car) and the challenge of facilitating access to such sites.
