Environmentally-friendly, the autonomous shuttle has a capacity of 15 passengers and is suitable for urban areas, airports, industrial sites, amusement parks, hotel complexes and hospitals. It has been designed to help organisations and businesses improve performance by streamlining the flow of movement.

In September 2016, in Lyon, France, Keolis launched experimental testing of NAVLY, the world's first public transport service using autonomous electric shuttles. Since then, it has tested a number of other autonomous shuttle projects in major cities, including Las Vegas in January.
