It's almost 3 years since the people of Savern (Bas-Rhin) adopted Cristal, the little electric shuttle from Alsace. More than 100,000 people have used it since it was introduced, twice as many as expected. The municipality of Rosheim is now testing this silent, non-polluting mode of transport.
Since Monday 5 February, a strange vehicle called the "Rosabus" has been plying the streets of Rosheim. It's the Cristal electric shuttle from the manufacturer Lohr, available free of charge to local residents to take them to the station or around the town. This is a six-month trial to see whether the shuttle is a hit with the public.
After Saverne, Rosheim could become the second town in Alsace to acquire the Cristal electric shuttle designed by the Lohr group. A six-month trial is due to start in the next few weeks before a final purchase is made.
A pilot line for this battery-powered vehicle will be deployed next year between Moselle and Bas-Rhin. Marketing, organised with the SNCF, could begin in 2027.
