The Swedish mobile operator is teaming up with food delivery app foodora.
The company says it will launch its new service Foodora Air this spring in Värmdö, an island near Stockholm. The drones will be connected to Tele2’s 5G network and deliver food and groceries by landing in the customer’s garden or lowering a cable from the done.
Tele2 says the drones are more sustainable than traditional delivery vehicles. It says the drones, which have a range of 21 kilometres, emit just 2 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre, compared to 143 grams emitted by gasoline delivery vehicles.
“For us at Tele2, the partnership with foodora is a perfect example of how we can use our 5G connectivity and expertise to drive future delivery services in a simple, sustainable, and smart way, while providing customers with an extraordinary experience,” says Stefan Trampus, Executive Vice President B2B at Tele2.
