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.
Draisy, the "very light" train developed by Alsatian industrialist Lohr to revitalize small regional lines, should be on the market from 2027. The Grand Est region intends to be its first supporter, hosting an initial trial from 2025 on a section of the Bitche-Sarreguemines line in Lorraine.
