... all the elements needed to build all possible configurations have been demonstrated.
The system serves the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines leisure island: a first station is located near the leisure island parking lot, and a second serves the Fan Zone near the Olympic venues: the Velodrome and the BMX stadium.
The track was laid in just a few weeks between December 2023 and February 2024, while the capsules were being assembled at our Tomblaine site near Nancy. near Nancy.
Once all the capsules had been assembled in Nancy, they were shipped to the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines leisure park.
Our team has ensured that the system works and is safe, carrying out over a thousand tests to certify that Urbanloop can reliably carry passengers.
At the end of this period, we obtained authorization from the Préfecture de la Région Île-de-France, after receiving the opinion of the Service Technique des Remontées Mécaniques et des Transports Guidés (STRMTG) and the DRIEAT (Direction Régionale et Interdépartementale Environnement Aménagement Transports).
Following the certification of our system on July 24, 2024, we have transmitted the circuit to Keolis who trained theirs for the opening to the public.
On July 27, 2024, our demonstrator opened to the public! A world first. More than 6,500 people used Urbanloop during the Olympic Games.
With this demonstrator, we are proving the efficiency and integration of our solution into the mobility chain.
The feedback we receive today enables us to to improve our system for future customers.
Scheduled to open in 2027-2028, this line will link the Maxéville park-and-ride facility to Nancy city center, via the future cité judiciaire.
