Suzuki has started manufacturing flying cars in Japan in partnership with SkyDrive, a drone specialist.
A ceremony was held last week at the Suzuki factory in Iwata, bringing together the brand’s president, Toshihiro Suzuki, and SkyDrive’s CEO, Tomohiro Fukuzawa. Employees from both companies were naturally present to celebrate the big announcement and show their support. This industrial site is located a few kilometers from the company’s historic headquarters in Hamamatsu. It was chosen to assemble the SkyDrive SD-O5 flying cars that will be used during the 2025 Osaka Expo and subsequently marketed to customers.
Modern and Zero Emission
Leading this ambitious project of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) flying cars, SkyDrive is a Japanese company specializing in the design of cargo drones. Suzuki recently became a shareholder to bring its four-wheeled expertise to this winged project initiated in 2022.
Suzuki is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 in Japan and Europe. This 100% electric project aligns with that goal and provides a tangible answer, or even a solution, to urban transportation issues. Suzuki has been marketing numerous 100% electric models for many years, on land and at sea, through its automotive, motorcycle, and marine activities. The Japanese manufacturer is now establishing a solid foothold in tangible aerial mobility.
