UAV & AAM Operations to Expand Across Asia

EVFLY has acquired the first UAVs from ABZ Innovation and has been appointed as the exclusive dealer and operator for ABZ Innovations’ cutting-edge UAV technology in Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam. 

This acquisition marks a major turning point in EVFLY’s strategy to accelerate its activities in the region. The agreement enables EVFLY to distribute and operate these drones in the above listed countries, underscoring the company’s commitment to providing innovative solutions and enhancing aerial capabilities in the region.

ABZ Innovation is a leading Hungarian company specializing in the manufacture of European-certified drones for the agricultural, transport and aerial work sectors. 

With over 13 years’ experience, ABZ Innovation has established itself as a key player in the development of cutting-edge UAV technologies, combining reliability and innovation. The agreement between EVFLY and ABZ Innovation provides privileged access to drones designed to meet the specific needs of precision agriculture, freight transport and specialized aerial work.

EVFLY is positioning itself to become a key player in the UAV and AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) sector in the region. 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. 

Following the arrival, ABZ Innovation will initiate training sessions from October 2024 to ensure EVFLY’s team is fully equipped and operational to operate the new technology effectively. The company anticipates launching full operations by the end of October 2024, with the first deployment of the drones in the agriculture and logistics sectors. They plan to expand the fleet with additional drones L30, M40 and L10.

EVFLY has ambitious plans for regional growth. By 2025, the company aims to extend its operations to Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. In addition, EVFLY is actively exploring expansion opportunities in Africa. 

EVFLY’s ambition is also to be one of the first eVTOL and eCTOL operators when certification is approved, with pre-order agreements already in place with various manufacturers.

Yannick Erbs, Co-Founder and CEO at EVFLY, said, “Our investment in ABZ Innovation’s drones demonstrates our commitment to harnessing cutting-edge technologies to deliver innovative, efficient, environmentally friendly and affordable aerial solutions. 

“This step 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 revolutionize logistics and agriculture in these regions.”
