Navya SA strengthens its partnership with Macnica, Inc. and continues its development in Japan. Navya has identified Japan as a high-potential market: the shortage of drivers1 combined with increased transportation needs, particularly for the elderly, and a strong appetite for technological innovations make the solutions developed by the Company attractive. Macnica, Inc. will showcase Navya solutions at Automotive World, which begins January 20 in Tokyo. The Autonom Shuttle Evo, the latest-generation shuttle, will be exhibited for the first time in Japan at Macnica's booth, accessible from the South Zone, No. S12-20. Since May 2017, Navya is working with BOLDLY (ex. SB Drive Co., SoftBank's subsidiary dedicated to autonomous mobility), its preferred partner in charge of deployment and supervision services. As such, BOLDLY has acquired solid expertise and has carried out overall more than 50 deployments, transporting more than 23,000 passengers in the country.
