Skycart invited to participate in 2024 Tokyo GX project for green innovation

Skycart to participate in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s Green Transformation (GX) Project, under its support program for GX-related foreign companies. This initiative recognizes global innovators contributing to decarbonization and sustainable urban development.

Skycart is selected for its advanced multi-delivery drone platform, which allows multiple deliveries in a single flight—reducing the number of trips, energy use, and carbon emissions. This innovation directly supports Tokyo’s push for low-emission, efficient logistics in dense urban areas.

As part of the GX Project, Skycart will target key sectors such as healthcare, enabling fast and eco-friendly delivery of medical supplies, and e-commerce, offering a greener alternative to gas-powered last-mile delivery. Skycart’s drones also have potential applications in disaster response and environmental monitoring, supporting Tokyo’s resilience and sustainability goals.

Participation in the program provides Skycart with regulatory guidance, business matching, and opportunities to collaborate with local partners. It marks a major step in expanding Skycart’s footprint in Japan and contributing to Tokyo’s and Japan’s broader carbon neutrality objectives.

Skycart signs MoU with Kisumu County to launch drone-based medical deliveries in Kenya

In December 2021, Skycart signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kisumu County Government in Kenya to pilot drone-based medical deliveries. The initiative aims to enhance healthcare access by using drones to transport vaccines and medical samples to remote areas.

The MoU was officially signed by Governor Prof. Anyang Nyong’o, marking a major step toward integrating drone logistics into the region’s healthcare system. By enabling centralized lab testing and rapid delivery via drones, the program seeks to streamline operations and reduce dependency on multiple lab facilities.

The pilot is expected to improve delivery speed, reduce operational costs, and support better health outcomes across Kisumu County. Training for local drone pilots was planned to begin in early 2022, with system deployment targeted by the end of that year.

This strategic partnership highlights Skycart’s commitment to deploying innovative, sustainable technology to bridge healthcare gaps—particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach communities.

The Skylatch is Extra Secure in Tough Conditions

Lock N Load

Skycart, a leading drone company, has unveiled its innovative Skylatch technology. The Skylatch is a patented system designed to securely hold payloads of various sizes and weights. With a redundant mechanical lock, the Skylatch ensures the utmost security and peace of mind. When a payload is attached, all moving parts of the latch automatically lock and can only be unlocked by the same electromechanical system when instructed to release the payload. Starting in mid-2018, the new SkyLatch will be a standard feature in all Cirrus and Stratus drone models.

Skycart remains dedicated to developing UAS solutions that prioritize safety and reliability while adhering to aviation standards.

Swiss Post Tests Drone Delivery with Skycart

Switzerland’s national postal service, Swiss Post, tests drone delivery with Skycart in various parts of Switzerland with permission from the Swiss Civil Aviation Authority, FOCA. During Skycart’s delivery tests, Skycart has worked to certify its drones and operations to ensure safety and reliability using the GALLO methodology developed by FOCA. Today Skycart continues its mission for safety and reliability with an improved methodology called the SORA as we set our sights for further operations in Switzerland.

The Swiss Post camera crew captured live footage of our delivery tests and put together a video below displaying how our Skycart Stratus drones and supporting systems can transform the courier industry.
