The Vaughan, Ontario-based drone technology company has entered into an agreement with UAP Inc. (NAPA) to test a drone delivery platform.
Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) has entered into a commercial agreement with UAP Inc. (NAPA), one of Canada’s largest automotive parts companies, to test a drone delivery platform that looks to expand the logistics capabilities of UAP’s NAPA Auto Parts delivery activities nationwide, the drone technology company said Wednesday.
DDC and NAPA will work together to design, prototype and test a drone delivery solution to expand NAPA’s logistics capabilities using DDC’s logistics platform, focusing on a customized solution that includes depot-to-depot and depot-to-consumer solutions.
DDC will work under Transport Canada’s framework to advance its testing at a specific site in the southern Ontario region, and then, DDC anticipates it will travel to foremost Alberta and Alma, Quebec to test beyond the visual line of site.
“We are the first and only drone delivery company in Canada and to now be able to work with one of Canada’s largest auto parts distributor is a major opportunity for us,” DDC CEO Tony Di Benedetto said. “We are focusing on many areas which are game changing for us and the automotive industry.”
