The German drone manufacturer Wingcopter is entering into a partnership with UAV Latam, a Latin American holding with experience in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) space, according to a press release. Wingcopter will collaborate with UAV del Peru, a subsidiary of UAV Latam, and use the Wingcopter 198 to carry out drone deliveries for local customers.

Expansion planned

For example, hard-to-reach communities in the Peruvian Andes are to be supplied with medical products. Later, the service will also be extended to other countries in the region. Since the pilots of UAV Latam are already experienced in handling the Wingcopters, the company will be one of the first in Latin America to use delivery drone technology for commercial and humanitarian applications.

Juan Bergelund, CEO of UAV Latam, comments: “Currently, several Latin American countries have partially inadequate infrastructure, particularly in the healthcare sector, which affects billions of lives - a situation exacerbated by COVID-19. At UAV Latam, we are convinced that by employing Wingcopter drones in Latin America, we can actively support Wingcopter's vision of creating efficient and sustainable drone delivery solutions that improve and save lives everywhere.”

Tom Plümmer, CEO of Wingcopter, adds: “By collaborating with UAV Latam, we are leveraging another great partnership to accelerate our expansion into Latin America. Our goal is to be present on all continents through our network of authorized Wingcopter partners or through our own Drone-as-a-Service operations, and we are well on our way to achieving this goal soon.”
