<h3><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><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>
