Lohr is a private French group headquartered near Strasbourg, Alsace. For over 60 years, it has been a global specialist in the design, manufacture, and marketing of transportation systems for people and goods, with 80% of its turnover derived from exports.

With a worldwide industrial footprint comprising six plants across three continents and 2,000 employees, the Lohr Group has maintained its position as the world leader in car carriers, developed its road-rail transport solution, and promoted projects that enhance sustainable and secure mobility.

The Group has several core businesses:

• Railway System: road-rail transport reference technology with Modalohr wagons for the safe, economical transport of standard road semi-trailers on the European rail network,
• New Mobilities: Major player in innovative, 100% electric, modular and connected mobility solutions (Cristal driven shuttles),
• Defense and Security: our subsidiary Soframe is specialized in the design and manufacture of tactical and logistic protected vehicles meeting the needs of armed forces and security forces,
• Lohr Service: These departments are supported by a network of technical assistance, maintenance, service contracts, spare parts networks, present and available worldwide.

Our CSR approach is based on three themes driven by this momentum:

Establishing the fundamentals that constitute the Group while promoting the spirit of conquest, continuing to act as a pioneer and keeping a leading position, and finally, consolidating the operational performance of Lohr.

Establishing the fundamentals

Establishing the fundamentals means firstly maintaining and perpetuating an identity and culture specific to us, placing human capital at the core, a real source of innovation and therefore growth for the group. Then, establishment also concerns the regions where we are located and our local ecosystem in France and internationally on three continents (Europe, Asia and the Americas), in a process of creation of shared values (jobs and economic fabric, partnerships, trials,…), notably in the Strasbourg region, which has the historical industrial sites and the head office of the Group. Finally, establishing our fundamentals involves production with concern for the environment and an activity capable of providing, at the international scale, robust solutions for sustainable mobility, meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century related to climate change.

Keeping a leading position through innovation

Keeping a leading position through innovation, with and for our stakeholders, both internally with our teams of employees, and externally with our partners, to fruitfully move our solutions from development to commercialization. Preparing for the future and acting as a pioneer must also enable us to develop sustainably, considering new requirements and usage patterns in transport in the design and deployment of our products and services, as well as new managerial and government expectations and conditions for the attractiveness and influence of Lohr Group.

Consolidating our operational performance

Consolidating our operational performance involves consideration of our human capital and particular attention paid to working conditions (health and safety, working environment, adaptation of sites…).

Training and cooperation are historical enablers serving the performance of Lohr Group: the use of apprenticeship, skills development, exchanging experience between sites… With an aim of constant progress, our operational performance must be able to be evaluated, and be evaluated, by our internal and external stakeholders (quality and environment management, standards and certifications, CSR approach with quantified goals and significant indicators,…), which currently constitutes a necessary action plan to be implemented.Our sustainable business lines
