foodpanda pilots drone delivery

The trial revealed that they can complete deliveries in less than 15 minutes.

foodpanda, in collaboration with ST Engineering, has conducted trials on their first drone delivery from Marina South Pier to PACC Offshore Services Holdings (POSH) vessel, the company revealed in a press release. With this test flight, foodpanda would be able to make deliveries in less than 15 minutes, the press release added.

The new service is intended to complement their riders, where the drones will ideally be able to pick up and deliver orders at designated collection points located islandwide and one of foodpanda’s 12,000 riders will be waiting to complete the last-mile delivery.

foodpanda inked a partnership with ST Engineering in March to adapt its DroNet solution to trial the delivery of light food items over short distances of up to 3km. DroNet is an end-to-end drone network solution designed to carry out specific tasks or services autonomously in an urban environment.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
