NAVYA Issues First Safety Report to US Department of Transportation

NAVYA (FR0013018041- NAVYA), leader in the autonomous vehicle market and in smart and shared mobility solutions, announced that it issued its first-ever safety report to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). As a pioneer in the AV sector, NAVYA currently has sold over 100 of its AUTONOM SHUTTLE around the globe, deployed and operated by its customers, making NAVYA the first commercialized company to submit a safety report to the USDOT.

With a distinct focus on developing, designing and manufacturing vehicles to be used in shared mobility solutions, the company employs a team of over 250 engineers, designers and automotive technology experts dedicated to creating the safest, most advanced and sustainable vehicles available on the market anywhere.

NAVYA’s Deputy CEO Jérôme Rigaud declares: "We're thrilled to become the first commercialized AV company to submit a safety report to USDOT. We view this as an opportunity to deliver safer transportation through highly engineered, intelligent vehicles such as the NAVYA AUTONOM SHUTTLE and CAB. Our smart AV give people their autonomy back by allowing them to use travel time more productively, while also reducing emissions via our electric powered vehicles. In turn, transportation will ultimately be not just safer, but smarter, and more fluid with AVs as part of the transportation matrix.”

Since launching its first AUTONOM SHUTTLE in 2015, NAVYA has transported over 300,000 people safely to their destinations on both private sites and public roads. The company recently completed a long-term trial of its AUTONOM SHUTTLES in downtown Las Vegas in partnership with Keolis NA and AAA, and is continuing a permanent deployment of AUTONOM SHUTTLES at the University of Michigan’s Mcity and North Campus. The SHUTTLE can transport up to 15 passengers and provides an excellent solution to the issue of "first and last mile transportation” getting people to and from parking areas or public transit hubs where a traditional bus route would not be viable.

In addition to the AUTONOM SHUTTLE, NAVYA unveiled its new AUTONOM CAB in November 2017 and debuted the CAB stateside during CES 2018. Essentially designed as a robo-cab for individualized routes transporting one to six people in urban areas, in either a private or shared mode, NAVYA AUTONOM CAB is on track to begin trials in France and in Australia this year.

Since its inception the AUTONOM range has been comprised solely of vehicles designed without a traditional cockpit, meaning they have no steering wheel, or pedals.

Headquartered in Villeurbanne, France, with Research & Development offices in Paris, NAVYA established its first North American manufacturing facility in Saline, Michigan in 2018.
