Information

Autonomous mobility services can provide more inclusive mobility: better accessibility as well as territorial and economic equity. Nonetheless, territories’ willingness to set new trials is critical to develop new projects. Besides, the arrival of fully autonomous operations will have an impact on jobs and as an operator Keolis will have to define the future standards for remote supervision and fleet management. Keolis is already anticipating these challenges by preparing and training operators and supervisors as their daily tasks will change.

KeolisAs a pioneer in the development of public transport, Keolis partners with public-sector decision-makers seeking to boost their regions' attractiveness and vitality through shared mobility. As the world's leading operator of automated metros and trams, Keolis relies on a sustained and open innovation policy with all its partners and subsidiaries - such as Kisio, EFFIA, Keolis Santé, and Cykleo - to strengthen its core business and develop new innovative and "tailor-made" shared mobility offers. The Group has 68,500 employees in 15 countries, with a 2019 projected turnover of €6.6 billion. In 2019, 3.4 billion passengers used a shared mobility service offered by Keolis.  Since 2016, Keolis has carried out numerous long-term experiments with automated shuttles for public use: 8 in France (Paris La Défense and Roissy-Charles De Gaulle airport, Lyon Confluence and Olympique Lyonnais stadium, Nevers, Bordeaux, Lille and Rennes) and 11 in other countries (1 in the United States, 4 in Australia, 1 in Canada, 2 in Belgium, 1 in the United Kingdom, 1 in Monaco and 1 in Sweden), thus enabling the Group to position itself as an expert in the operation of automated shuttles. By the beginning of 2021, the Group had recorded more than 110,000 km travelled and more than 200,000 passengers transported in automated shuttles, in France and the rest of the world.
