Navette \u00c9lectrique<\/h3>\n\n
\n

Navette \u00c9lectrique was born of Alexandre Lemerise’s bold initiative to turn a forward-thinking vision into reality. By converting the Ford E-Transit into an innovative electric shuttle, we’re offering an ecological and efficient tourist transportation solution for the National Capital. With a capacity of 9 passengers and a range of 205 km, our shuttle is ideal for short trips in a city welcoming over 3.5 millions visitors a year. Our project not only meets a crucial need for sustainable mobility, but also contributes to the region’s tourist appeal.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n
