Our Munich based Volocopter VoloDrone team is developing an unmanned, fully electric, heavy-lift utility drone capable of carrying a payload of up to 200 kg (440 lbs). Our VoloDrone can serve a great variety of purposes from transporting boxes, to liquids, to equipment and beyond. Anywhere ground transportation means are challenged by difficult accessibility, it may help by adding the air delivery dimension. (https://volocopter.com/de/volodrone/). Next to our core business of Urban Air Mobility, the technological platform of the Volocopter can bring value to a variety of additional applications in the logistics, agriculture, infrastructure, and public services spaces. Volocopter is the pioneer in the development of electrical air taxis that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring Urban Air Mobility to life, by establishing air taxis in addition to current transportation options in megacities globally. (www.volocopter.com)
