What NAVYA does

Navya Mobility is a French autonomous mobility company that designs, manufactures, and operates Level 4 autonomous vehicles for passenger and goods transport. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Villeurbanne (Lyon) with R&D in Paris La Défense and production in Saint-Vallier, the company sells two core hardware platforms — the Autonom Shuttle EVO 3 (passenger transport, up to ~15-passenger capacity) and the Autonom Tract AT135 (autonomous tow tractor for industrial and airport logistics) — both powered by its proprietary Navya Drive autonomous driving software stack. Navya Drive fuses LiDAR, cameras, GPS, IMU, odometry, and radar inputs for 360-degree perception and fail-operational safety, and is complemented by the Navya Operate fleet and operations management platform for remote supervision, scheduling, and analytics.

The company monetizes through direct enterprise sales of vehicles (project-based, multi-year contracts, pricing not publicly disclosed), a growing services and software-license stream (Navya Drive License, maintenance, Expert Center support — 26% YoY growth in 2019 to €2.9M, ~19% of revenue), and technology licensing via partnerships such as the AD Pack integration with Lohr's Cristal platform. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with regional channel partners (Beep in the US, ION in the GCC, SB Drive/Macnica in Japan) and the Charlatte Autonom joint venture (51% owned) with Charlatte Manutention for industrial tractor solutions. The customer base spans 450+ deployments across 30 countries with named logos including Air France, BMW, Beep, DB Regio, Geodis, Keolis, Komatsu, RATP, Stellantis, Transdev, Frankfurt Airport, and Landkreis Kronach, targeting public/private passenger transport, airport operations, logistics, and ports.

Following the original NAVYA entity's judicial liquidation in 2023 and delisting from Euronext Paris, the assets were acquired by Gaussin and combined with Japan's Macnica to form Gaussin Macnica Mobility SAS (now Navya Mobility), with Macnica holding 70.85% and NTT West acquiring a 29.15% stake in August 2024. The restructured company is targeting 50 Japanese deployment locations by fiscal 2025 and 100+ by fiscal 2027, with recent milestones including the EVO 3 platform launch, Level 4 validation in Hitachi-Ota, and an edge-AI integration partnership with ASUS.

Core offering

Navya Mobility designs, manufactures and sells Level 4 autonomous electric vehicles (Autonom Shuttle EVO 3 for passengers and Autonom Tract AT135 for goods) along with the Navya Drive autonomous driving software and Navya Operate fleet management platform. The company delivers turnkey autonomous mobility solutions, including vehicle hardware, embedded software, ongoing updates, training, and 24/7 expert center support, to cities, transport operators, airports and industrial sites.

Product overview

Navya Mobility provides turnkey autonomous mobility solutions combining proprietary in-house technology for the transport of people and goods. The product portfolio centers on two main vehicle platforms: the Autonom Shuttle Evo 3 for passenger transport and the Autonom Tract AT135 for logistics operations. Enabling these vehicles are two core technology systems - Navya Drive (autonomous driving system with 360-degree sensor perception and Level 4 autonomous capability) and Navya Operate (fleet management and operations platform). The ecosystem includes software updates through Navya Drive License, 24/7 Expert Center support, training services, and API data integration capabilities. Charlatte Autonom, a joint venture with Charlatte Manutention, handles the industrial and airport autonomous tractor solutions. The company operates across four key markets: public and private passenger transport, logistics, ports, and airports.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• EasyMile: French-headquartered developer of EZ10 autonomous shuttles and TractEasy tow tractors. Direct competitor in Level 4 low-speed shuttles for first/last mile, campus, and industrial deployments, operating in overlapping geographies in Europe.
• ZF (2getthere): ZF Friedrichshafen's autonomous mobility unit (formerly 2getthere) supplies autonomous GRT vehicles for controlled environments including airports, business parks and ports. Directly comparable product offering and target deployment scenarios as Navya Autonom Shuttle and Tract.
• May Mobility: US-based autonomous shuttle operator and technology provider running Level 4 geofenced services for transit agencies. Closest US operational analog with similar geofenced shuttle deployments.
• Beep: US autonomous mobility-as-a-service provider operating Navya shuttles in Lake Nona and other American deployments; while also a Navya channel partner/customer, it competes as an autonomous shuttle service operator in the US market.
• Oxa (formerly Oxbotica): UK-based autonomous driving software provider focused on industrial, logistics, and shuttle use cases. Direct competitor on the autonomy stack side, mirroring Navya Drive with similar safety/functional-safety certification emphasis.
• Aurrigo: British autonomous vehicle specialist focused on airports, cargo, and first/last-mile passenger shuttles. Comparable product portfolio and customer verticals (airports, campuses, urban pilots) to Navya.

Broad incumbents

• Waymo: Alphabet-owned autonomous mobility leader with the most ambitious robotaxi vision and largest deployment capital. While operating in different speed/ODD regimes today, its expansion toward geofenced shuttle use cases would directly overlap with Navya's core market.
• Cruise (GM): General Motors-owned autonomous vehicle subsidiary targeting ride-hail and shuttle use cases. Broader scope and far larger capital base than Navya, with potential to compete for shared autonomous mobility contracts as it relaunches.
• Mobileye: Intel-owned ADAS and autonomous driving technology company offering a horizontal autonomy stack used by multiple OEMs. As Mobileye pursues Level 4 mobility-as-a-service, its ambitions encroach on Navya's addressable autonomy-platform market.

Emerging players

• Holon (Benteler): New entrant from Benteler focused on autonomous, electric shuttles for public transit (Holon Mover). Comparable use cases and customer types as Navya Autonom Shuttle, with significant automotive manufacturing scale behind it.
