Gaussin shares rose on Wednesday, the day after the company presented its plan to take over Navya, a specialist in autonomous shuttles recently placed in receivership.

At 12:15 pm, Gaussin shares gained 5.1%, while the SBF 120 index lost 0.2%.

In association with the Japanese company Macnica, the French group specializing in clean, intelligent goods transport plans to create a joint venture dedicated to autonomous, zero-emission mobility for the transport of people and goods.

This joint venture, 51% owned by Gaussin and 49% by Macnica, will take over Navya's assets.

The transaction covers all tangible and intangible assets at the Courbevoie and Villeurbanne sites, and inventories at the Vénissieux site, for a sale price of 1.4 million euros.

In terms of employment, 143 French employees will be taken over, out of a total of 206 positions.

With this operation, the Lyon Commercial Court has declared the conversion of Navya's receivership proceedings into liquidation proceedings.

Given the opening of these proceedings, there will be no resumption of listing, which means that Euronext will soon delist Navya shares.
