Brazilian Startup Moya Aero Drone Delivery Joins Drone Logistics Ecosystem as latest member

The Drone Logis­tics Ecosys­tem (DLE) announced last week its lat­est Mem­ber — the Brazil­ian drone deliv­ery com­pa­ny, Moya Aero, reports a press release. Based in São José dos Cam­pos, Brazil, the com­pa­ny is pio­neer­ing the cre­ation of the south­ern hemisphere’s inau­gur­al high-capac­i­ty car­go drone.

Moy­a’s inno­v­a­tive craft oper­ates on 100 per­cent elec­tric pow­er with a range of 110 km and has an impres­sive pay­load capac­i­ty of 200 kg. With a pro­to­type set to take flight lat­er this year, the com­pa­ny has already secured a Let­ter of Intent (LOI) for the pur­chase of 50 craft with Helisul, Brazil’s largest heli­copter oper­a­tor, which is diver­si­fy­ing into the drone sec­tor.

Rena­ta Marins Pao­lil­lo, COO of Moya Aero, com­ment­ed, “The car­go drone mar­ket is poised to evolve in diverse direc­tions due to the exten­sive array of pos­si­bil­i­ties before us. Automa­tion stands as a piv­otal stride, elim­i­nat­ing the need for pilots on long-haul jour­neys and tran­scend­ing the lim­i­ta­tions of traf­fic.” 

She con­tin­ued, “As drones pro­lif­er­ate, they will rev­o­lu­tionise vital trans­port seg­ments beyond the con­fines of last-mile logis­tics, enhanc­ing pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and effi­cien­cy. The more this mar­ket pro­gress­es, the more all stake­hold­ers will reap rewards.”

DLE is a global/virtual net­work of com­pa­nies, uni­ver­si­ties, the public/governments and investors oper­at­ing in the drone logis­tics indus­try. The aim is to bring togeth­er stake­hold­ers to col­lab­o­rate in stan­dar­d­is­ing the rapid­ly emerg­ing drone mar­ket. 

As a major­i­ty of the involved com­pa­nies are ear­ly-stage start-ups with lim­it­ed access to fund­ing, man­pow­er and exper­tise, DLE is an ide­al plat­form to share exper­tise and co-devel­op prod­ucts and ser­vices that acquire cross-bor­der mar­ket access with oth­er mem­bers.

In the past two years, DLE has expand­ed to include 50 organ­i­sa­tions, con­sist­ing of 46 com­pa­nies, two uni­ver­si­ties and the world’s largest drone asso­ci­a­tion, Japan UAS Indus­tri­al Devel­op­ment Asso­ci­a­tion, across 21 dif­fer­ent coun­tries. With­in a short time DLE has cre­at­ed sev­er­al inter­na­tion­al proof-of-con­cept projects with a few com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion prospects in the pipeline. DLE is in the process of form­ing a com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion mod­el to help Mem­bers reach the mar­ket faster in part­ner­ship with oth­ers.

Back­ground

Moya Aero was estab­lished in 2020 by Alexan­dre Zaramela and Rena­ta Pao­lil­lo, and is an off­shoot of ACS Avi­a­tion, a lead­ing aero­nau­ti­cal engi­neer­ing, research and air­craft devel­op­ment group in Brazil, sit­u­at­ed at the heart of Latin America’s indus­tri­al cor­ri­dor, São José dos Cam­pos.
