Black cat now gliding on path of innovation
Regent, a USA-based creator of all-electric seagliders that connect coastal ports at speeds up to 290 km/h, has announced a strategic investment from Yamato Holdings, Japan’s largest parcel delivery and logistics company.
This venture signifies the expansion of seaglider applications into the critically important middle mile routes that connect high-volume freight carriers coming into port with last mile delivery services. It supports Regent’s entry into the Japanese market following a recent investment by Japan Airlines Innovation Fund and brings the company’s total investment to over USD 50 million.
The "black cat" has achieved multiple radical innovations, including the introduction of the currently nationwide popular Ta-Q-Bin.Yamato continues innovating its business, including R&D activities on advanced transport modes, such as street scooters, drones and resurrected freighter aircraft. (ah)
