GAUSSIN announces the acquisition of 10 Bluebus 6-meter electric made by BLUEBUS, a subsidiary of the BOLLORE Group, to transform them into autonomous vehicles for on-road applications

The Group also acquired the complete technology for autonomous driving, including source codes, from an automotive engineering giant to accelerate its development

GAUSSIN (ALGAU - FR0013495298), a pioneer in clean, intelligent and connected mobility for goods and people, announces the acquisition of 10 Bluebus 6-meter electric vehicles, the flagship vehicle of the BLUEBUS range, a subsidiary of the BOLLORE Group. GAUSSIN's objective is to transform the Bluebuses into autonomous vehicles for on-road applications that the group will market.

The Bluebus 6-meter is a passenger transport solution focused on safety, performance and respect for the environment. Marketed since 2012, it is currently operated in a manual version in more than 60 cities in 8 countries. With a capacity of 22 people, the BB6M carries 90 kW/h of batteries and can travel at speeds of up to 50 kph.

In September 2020, GAUSSIN had already announced the signature of an exclusive distribution agreement for the Bluebus 6-meter electric vehicle in the Middle East (Qatar, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Israel) and a non-exclusive distribution agreement in the rest of the world, excluding France (see press release dated September 1, 2020).

The 6-meter Bluebus is equipped with LMP® batteries from Blue Solutions, also a subsidiary of the BOLLORE Group, which specializes in the manufacture of batteries. Produced by Blue Solutions in its plants in France and Canada, the LMP® batteries are the result of a unique "all-solid lithium metal"technology that provides a very high level of safety, without thermal runaway, and the ability to withstand extreme outdoor temperatures of up to 65°C without cooling.

Acquisition of the complete autonomous driving technology including source codes from an automotive engineering giant

GAUSSIN also announces the complete acquisition of the autonomous control system of a multinational engineering group. The transaction will enable GAUSSIN to strengthen its technology in this field and to rapidly deploy secure, turnkey solutions for the automation of flows in closed environments and on public roads.

"Our initial successes in the field of intelligent mobility fully justify an acceleration to which the acquisition of the 10 electric Bluebuses and their transformation into autonomous vehicles, as well as the acquisition of the source codes for the autonomous driving system that we have just completed, will contribute," said Christophe Gaussin, CEO of the GAUSSIN Group.
