Sophie Desormière, CEO of NAVYA
NAVYA sold 19 Autonom® Shuttle vehicles in 2021, compared with 23 in 2020, at a stable average price per vehicle between the two years. The EMEA region is the Company’s largest market, accounting for 59% of annual sales, ahead of the APAC region (36%). Revenues from the Vehicle activity thus amounted to €6.0 million. In total, the installed base exceeds 200 Autonom® Shuttle vehicles deployed in 25 countries, representing an increase of +10% compared to the end of 2020.
As in the previous two financial years, the share of the Services activity, which includes revenues from the sale of licenses, supervision and maintenance, continues to grow (+23%), benefiting from the increase in the installed base. In 2021, Services will account for €4.1 million, or 41% of annual revenues, compared with 31% in 2020 and 19% in 2019.
Overall, the Company’s 2021 revenue is stable at €10.2 million.
