Pipistrel and Lobo Leasing sign partnership
Pipistrel, which specialises in electric aviation and unmanned flight systems, and Lobo Leasing, a global vertical lift leasing platform, have signed a letter of intent with deposits for the acquisition of 15 Nuuva V300 autonomous cargo HVTOL aircraft. As part of the agreement, Lobo leasing and Pipistrel will collaborate to build and connect a base of operators and investors.
The Nuuva V300 is an optimal HVTOL UAV for middle mile logistics with a 3 cbm capacity, and under favourable flight conditions, the vehicle can carry 460 kg up to 400 km. It is designed to operate ten times more economically than today’s helicopters, it requires no runways, and it brings enhanced safety and reliability using Pipistrel’s already type-certified electric engines.
