EVFLY expands operations “with purchase of L30 UAVs from ABZ Innovation”

EVFLY announced this week its acqui­si­tion of L30 Unmanned Aer­i­al Vehi­cles (UAVs) from ABZ Inno­va­tion, a Hun­gar­i­an com­pa­ny spe­cial­is­ing in the man­u­fac­ture of Euro­pean-cer­ti­fied drones, reports a press release. The L30 UAV is used pri­mar­i­ly for crop spray­ing.

ABZ has over 13 years expe­ri­ence in the drone indus­try. It has estab­lished itself as a key play­er, focussing on the agri­cul­tur­al, trans­port and aer­i­al work sec­tors. The com­pa­ny is an appoint­ed exclu­sive deal­er in Indone­sia, Thai­land, Sin­ga­pore, Malaysia, Cam­bo­dia and Viet­nam as well as oper­at­ing in 9 oth­er regions. ABZ also offers replace­ment equip­ment dur­ing repairs, online tech sup­port and dis­trib­u­tor sup­port with sales mate­ri­als and spare parts. 

EVFLY’s acqui­si­tion marks a major turn­ing point in a strat­e­gy to expand its busi­ness, where it aims to posi­tion itself to become a key play­er in the UAV and Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty sec­tor via ABZ’s exclu­sive deal­er­ship regions. 

The release explains, “The first deliv­er­ies of L30 UAVs are sched­uled to arrive in Indone­sia by the end of Sep­tem­ber 2024, fol­lowed by fur­ther deliv­er­ies by the end of the year.” It con­tin­ues, “Fol­low­ing the arrival, ABZ Inno­va­tion will ini­ti­ate train­ing ses­sions from Octo­ber to ensure EVFLY’s team is ful­ly equipped and oper­a­tional to oper­ate the new tech­nol­o­gy effec­tive­ly.”

The first  drone deploy­ment will be in the agri­cul­ture and logis­tics sec­tors. The two com­pa­nies plan to expand their fleet with addi­tion­al drones, the M40 and L10.

Yan­nick Erbs, co-Founder and CEO at EVFLY, com­ment­ed, “The invest­ment rep­re­sents an excep­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ty not only for Indone­sia, but also for the whole of South­east Asia and Africa. We are con­vinced that these drones will rev­o­lu­tionise logis­tics and agri­cul­ture in these regions.” 

Karoly Lud­vigh, CEO of ABZ Inno­va­tion, added, “With EVFLY’s col­lab­o­ra­tion, ABZ Inno­va­tion is poised to strength­en its pres­ence in the Asia region. This strate­gic move marks a sig­nif­i­cant mile­stone in our mis­sion to dri­ve sus­tain­able growth and trans­for­ma­tion glob­al­ly.”

Addi­tion­al­ly, EVFLY is active­ly explor­ing expan­sion oppor­tu­ni­ties in Africa and aims to be one of the first eVTOL and eCTOL oper­a­tors when cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is approved, with pre-order agree­ments already in place with var­i­ous man­u­fac­tur­ers.
