COLAS IS BUILDING THE ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE FUTURE MOBILITY DEVELOPMENT
CENTER IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Colas CZ, a Colas company in the Czech Republic, is currently building the road
infrastructure for the Future Mobility Development Center in the western Czech
city of Sokolov for the BMW group, as part of a joint venture with Colas
Projects. The proving grounds will be one of the largest and most modern in
Europe.

The project consists of building, securing and equipping a network of roads and
different driving environments that incorporate new information technologies.
The infrastructure is designed to perform tests, and includes surfaces that
simulate highways, multi-lane roads, urban roads, parking lots, tunnels,
autonomous driving areas as well as dirt roads and mountain roads. Colas is
also in charge of earthworks, drainage, civil engineering, noise protection,
lighting, safety and technical green spaces.

The road infrastructure built by Colas will ensure the highest level of safety
in compliance with the strictest technical and environmental standards, even
with very intensive use.

As the site chosen for the project is a former mine landfill, the work requires
special geotechnical solutions.

During the construction phase, Colas CZ and Colas Projects will mobilize the
resources and expertise of Colas teams. In total, around 400 people will work
on this technically demanding project, with the aim of delivering the
infrastructure to the BMW group by 2022.
