The logistics industry struggles with significant challenges such as traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, and labor-intensive operations. For instance, an average driver in a metropolitan city spends 80 hours in traffic annually, and only 6% of the population has access to one-day or overnight delivery.
There is a labor shortfall of 1.1 million workers in the EU logistics sector. Additionally, 300 million trees are cut down annually to expand roads, highlighting the environmental impact.
LogiXair offers a game-changing solution by utilizing autonomous Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft for cargo transport. This shift to three-dimensional mobility bypasses infrastructure constraints, allowing for deliveries 4 times faster than traditional road or rail methods. With VTOL aircraft capable of transporting up to 300 kilograms of cargo over a 600-kilometer radius, and a network of regulated aerial paths, LogiXair significantly reduces delivery times and operational costs. The automated systems further minimize the need for manual labor, addressing labor shortages and enhancing efficiency.
