Japanese cargo drones flying ahead?


The APAC focused logistics real estate platform ESR Cayman is working with VRCO to design and demonstrate a cargo drone logistics facility at the company´s Higashi Ogishima distribution centre, strategically located in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area.

 

Upon completion, this pioneering development will validate how the logistics provider’s tenants can use electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) airframes for the movement of commercial cargo from ESR distribution facilities of the future.

 

Working closely with local regulatory authorities, government agencies and the local technology supply chain, ESR and VRCO will demonstrate in detail how a highly automated fleet of smart and self-aware air-cargo vehicles that are controlled by a command centre can take a scalable approach to volume delivery by air, factoring in weather and changing demand.

 

The ESR platform spans across the People’s Republic of China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and India. (sh)
