<h3><span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>100<sup>th</sup> AUTONOM SHUTTLE roll-out</strong></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">NAVYA has continued to accelerate its production rate ever since it was created.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">With a solid industrial base in Vénisseux (just outside of Lyon), NAVYA has forged ahead with its new American production plant in Saline (Michigan).</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">On 31 March 2018, the Group boasted a production capacity of around 130 vehicles per year in Vénissieux and roughly 30 vehicles per year in Saline. NAVYA intend to push capacity up to 1, 000 vehicles per year, thanks to the opening of a second production line in each of these existing facilities and the installation of a production site for AUTONOM SHUTTLE in the Asia-Pacific region.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Launched on 1<sup>st</sup> May 2018 for a period of four years, the AVENUE European Consortium is part of the Horizon 2020 “Autonomous Vehicles to Evolve to a New Urban Experience” programme. It brings together 16 partners including academic institutions, public transport operators, large technological Research &amp; Development companies and specialist start-ups.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">AVENUE aims to <strong>create and carry out large-scale autonomous mobility trials in urban centres.</strong></span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The project provides for the deployment of the very first fleet of autonomous shuttles, 10 in total, in four European cities: <strong>Geneva, Lyon, Copenhagen and Luxembourg. </strong>Armed with a budget of 22 M€ (including 16 M€ funded by the European Commission)<strong>, its four main aims are:</strong></span>
<ol>
 	<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>To deploy autonomous vehicles and integrate them into the existing transit services </strong>of several European cities;</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>To prove that autonomous vehicles are safe to use within urban centres</strong>;</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>To develop and test new, innovative and disruptive urban public transport services </strong>for autonomous vehicles, so that they will be accepted by users;</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>To create a new experience for passengers</strong> by way of public urban autonomous vehicles.</span></li>
