Regulatory News:

NAVYA (FR0013018041- Navya), an autonomous mobility systems leader, consolidates its position in Asia by participating year on year to the continent's quest for mobility as a service that is ever more autonomous, connected, inclusive and sustainable.

Navya, leader in autonomous mobility ecosystems with local partners in Japan

In the face of the challenges of an aging population and a declining workforce, especially in particular district local towns Japan is banking on autonomous mobility as a future solution for shared and environmentally friendly transportation. Boldly and Macnica, two of Navya partners that are committed to the transition toward autonomous mobility for the benefit of all, have been conducting a multitude of trials to demonstrate the advantage of its shuttles.

Our shuttles have been deployed in more than a hundred use cases (e.g. 117 times of POC has delivered by Boldly, as of May 2022) in particularly complex environments. Here is few key projects that Navya and our partners have successfully implemented as commercial operation since 2018.

• TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) in Fukushima Nuclear Plant: since April 2018 and finished operation on March 2020, three electric, driverless Autonom Shuttles have been transporting staff and visitors to the TEPCO electric power plant in Fukushima, over a route of 5.6 km.
• Sakai-Machi: Boldly and Macnica set up its first autonomous mobility service on the open road in a local community in November 2020 on an initial route 5.3 km long. This has since been extended to 20 km with 26 stops and is currently served by three Autonom Shuttles.
• Haneda Innovation City (HI City) : Boldly and Macnica started in August 2020 on 700 m of open road, to a large extend underground, this trial's success led in December 2021 to an extension of its range from Haneda Innovation City center to Haneda airport.

In the run-up to the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, Boldly is conducting a trial in partnership with the Osaka Municipal High Speed Electric Railway and others to promote the shepherding of a fleet of several shuttles via an API link. This latest step in the field of autonomous mobility will enable a large number of visitors to Expo 2025 to move around the exhibition's site in driverless vehicles.
