Revenue model

1. Automated Mobility Network Operations: beti designs, deploys, and operates automated mobility networks, monetizing services rather than vehicles. Revenue is generated through long-term service contracts with local authorities and private site operators, covering fleet management, remote supervision (Hyper.Vision), exploitation, and maintenance. The model targets rural and peri-urban territories with four types of mobility: daily mobility, health mobility, inclusive mobility, and tourism mobility.
2. Engineering and Consulting Services: beti provides financial and mobility engineering studies, feasibility assessments, technology supplier selection aligned with client problems, and administrative deployment procedures. These professional services are bundled with deployment and operational contracts.
3. Fleet Hardware and Maintenance: Revenue from acquisition and maintenance of automated vehicle fleets (e.g., NAVYA EVO). Includes on-site maintenance services at St Donat depot, preventive maintenance, and breakdown response. Material rolling (2 or 4 wheel drive vehicles) is offered as part of the bundled service.

Core offering

beti operates automated mobility networks as a full-service operator, designing, deploying, and running Level 4 autonomous electric shuttle fleets (NAVYA-sourced) for public transport authorities and private site operators. The company delivers end-to-end services spanning financial and mobility engineering studies, rolling stock procurement, certified on-board operations, 24/7 Hyper.Vision remote fleet supervision, and on-site preventive and corrective maintenance. Service is specialized for rural, peri-urban, and private-site environments rather than dense urban centers.

Product overview

beti operates as an operator of automated mobility networks, offering a comprehensive service chain centered on the NAVYA-sourced autonomous electric shuttle (berto). The portfolio comprises core services including Engineering (feasibility to deployment), Rolling Stock (vehicle procurement), Operations (certified operators), Hyper.Vision (24/7 remote supervision), Maintenance (on-site support), Supervision, and Opéra.Vision. The RIMA project represents their flagship inclusive automated mobility network platform. beti differentiates by focusing on rural and peri-urban territories rather than traditional urban deployments, and publishes weekly VIGIE intelligence on the autonomous mobility sector.

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered major, core and minor.

• WeRidemajorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 15 November 2024On November 15, beti signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with WeRide VP Jennifer Li, establishing a framework for collaboration. WeRide is a global leader in autonomous driving technology (Level 4) with extensive robotaxi and autonomous shuttle deployments. The MoU lays the foundation for potential integration of WeRide technology within beti's European autonomous mobility networks.
• NAVYAcoreTechnology or Integration · 21 November 2022NAVYA is the technology provider supplying autonomous driving systems and electric shuttle vehicles to beti. NAVYA provides its Navya Drive® autonomous driving packs and supports vehicle commissioning. beti acquires NAVYA shuttles (including the EVO model) and relies on NAVYA's technology for Level 4 autonomous operation. NAVYA is part of the RIMA consortium with beti, Macif, and VINCI Construction.
• VINCI Construction / SVMSmajorTechnology or IntegrationVINCI Construction, through its specialized subsidiary SVMS, is responsible for the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of road signaling equipment and infrastructure required for the RIMA automated mobility network in the Crest Val de Drôme. SVMS contributes its expertise in road infrastructure safety, fluidity, and comfort for automated driving systems.
• Movin'On Community of Interest on Autonomous VehiclescoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerA working community initiated by Macif in 2019 within the Movin'On ecosystem, co-innovation platform for autonomous vehicles. Comprises 12 companies: beti, BNP Paribas Cardif, Forvia, Kantar, MACIF, MAIF, Michelin, Microsoft, NAVYA, Orange, SNCF, VINCI. Their shared mission is 'Mobility for all, autonomy for all, via shared autonomous shuttles' to deploy autonomous vehicle solutions for inclusive mobility in rural and peri-urban territories. Beti is an active member contributing operational expertise and serving as the experimentation site for the community.
• Eurovia (VINCI Construction group)majorStrategic or Co-development PartnerEurovia, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, partnered with beti and NAVYA for the previous Val de Drôme experimentation (2020-2021), deploying a NAVYA automated shuttle on a 9.6 km route. Eurovia contributed infrastructure expertise for the pilot that preceded the RIMA project.
• EasyMilemajorTechnology or IntegrationIn June 2024, beti, Bertolami Group, and EasyMile announced a new milestone in their partnership with a Level 4 autonomous shuttle service deployment on a private site. The expanded collaboration signals EasyMile as a second autonomous shuttle technology provider alongside NAVYA.
• TransdevminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerTransdev, through its Drôme interurban subsidiary, collaborated in the broader Drôme mobility ecosystem. Noël Barriol, Director of Production at Transdev Valence and Director of Transdev Drôme, received the European Mobility Lifetime Achievement Award 2022 alongside Benjamin Beaudet's recognition.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Broad incumbents

• Keolis: International public-transit operator actively piloting autonomous shuttles in French and European territories; comparable as an incumbent transit operator entering the autonomous rural/peri-urban mobility space that beti targets.
• Transdev: Global public-transit operator running autonomous shuttle pilots across Europe and already present in the Drôme mobility ecosystem alongside beti; comparable as a large incumbent that could absorb the rural autonomous shuttle operator role beti is pursuing, but with substantially greater fleet and capital resources.

Emerging players

• Ohmio: New Zealand autonomous shuttle manufacturer and operator with deployments at airports, campuses and urban routes; an emerging peer offering comparable Level 4 autonomous shuttle vehicles and services for low-density and confined environments.
• WeRide: Global Level 4 autonomous driving leader in robotaxis and autonomous shuttles; a recently announced MoU partner of beti (Nov 2024) and a strategic emerging peer whose technology beti could integrate into European rural networks.
• May Mobility: US-based autonomous shuttle operator deploying Level 4 driverless shuttles on public roads with transit agency partners; an emerging player with comparable transit-agency GTM and shuttle-as-a-service model, albeit focused on US markets.

Direct peers

• Aurrigo: UK-based autonomous vehicle technology company specializing in driverless shuttles for campus, urban, and last-mile applications; a direct peer competing for similar public-transit authority and private-site autonomous shuttle contracts.
• 2getthere (ZF Group): Dutch provider of autonomous shuttle systems for airports, business parks and urban/rural routes; now part of ZF Group, a direct peer competing in the same Level 4 autonomous shuttle operating market that beti addresses.
• EasyMile: Toulouse-based autonomous shuttle technology and service provider; directly comparable to beti as both deploy Level 4 driverless shuttles for rural/peri-urban and private-site use cases, and beti explicitly partnered with EasyMile in June 2024 as a second AV technology supplier alongside NAVYA.
• NAVYA: French autonomous electric shuttle manufacturer whose NAVYA Drive® technology and EVO shuttles power the majority of beti's deployments; a direct technology peer and RIMA consortium member, now in financial reorganization — making it both a critical supplier and a parallel autonomous-shuttle operator.

Others

• VINCI Construction / Eurovia: Major infrastructure group whose SVMS and Eurovia subsidiaries are beti's road-signaling and infrastructure partners in the RIMA project and prior Val de Drôme pilot; an adjacent ecosystem enabler rather than direct competitor, but a strategic partner that could vertically integrate autonomous mobility services.
