Green light for the launch of
automated vehicles providing
on-demand service at the Belle-Idée site

18/06/2020
We are thrilled to announce that Avenue Project has reached a great milestone!

On June 3, 2020, our partner TPG Public Transport of Geneva received formal authorization from the Secretary-General of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) of Geneva to operate autonomous shuttles on the Belle-Idée hospital site.

Initially, two NAVYA Group Autonom shuttles will be put into service on the Belle-Idée site.

TPG expects to manage to engage the shuttles on the whole road network within Belle-Idée by end of August, by piloting a new type of #ondemandservice without imposing fixed routes and stops.

Check out the full Press Release (in French) by the Department of Infrastructure Department of the State of Geneve jointly released by TPG Public Transport of Geneva, University of Geneva, HUG - Hôpitaux and General Secretariat GS-DETEC.
