VANS & Drones as transport solution of the future

Sep 17, 2020

More and more people will be living in cities in the near future and logistics will become a challenge. Already now information is at our fingertips via smartphone, the same scenario could be imaginable for goods: No matter when and where we are, the order can be delivered in the fasted and most direct way. In doing so, environmental stress like traffic jams and related emissions can be reduced. Together with the Menlo Park, California, based company Matternet, Mercedes-Benz Vans has developed the concept VANS & Drones. Merchants can dispatch last-minute orders via drone to the distribution vehicle that is already in the inner city centre. The drone can overcome traffic jams and other obstacles and the van will do the last mile delivery in the city.
