Exploring eVTOL in Osaka
SkyDrive and Osaka Metro are teaming up to see if eVTOL technology can be used in Osaka after Expo 2025.
Joint Vision for Urban Air Travel
Both companies aim to make eVTOLs a common sight in daily commutes. SkyDrive, founded in 2018, leads the charge in eVTOL development and will participate in the "Smart Mobility Expo" in 2025. Meanwhile, Osaka Metro is innovating urban transit with its MaaS initiative, “e METRO,” which seeks to blend different travel modes seamlessly. They’ve been picked to run a vertiport outside the Expo, marking a significant step toward using eVTOLs in the city.
Building Future Transport
Osaka Metro’s investment in SkyDrive strengthens their partnership, supporting the infrastructure needed to scale eVTOL use in Osaka. SkyDrive aims to lead a major mobility revolution, and this collaboration is a big move towards that goal. By merging their strengths, they aim to transform urban transport in Osaka and potentially other cities.
We think it’s cool when companies work together to change how we travel.
What’s Next?
Together, SkyDrive and Osaka Metro will create business plans and strategies for eVTOL operations during and after the Expo. This cooperation highlights their dedication to changing city transportation for the better.
