Following successful consumer trials in Trondheim, Aviant is launching the world\u2019s longest-distance home delivery service by autonomous drones<\/a> in Lillehammer, Norway.<\/p>\n

Starting today, residents of the town will be able to receive deliveries of groceries, medicines, and meals from restaurants directly to their doorstep, using the startup\u2019s Kyte drone service.<\/p>\n

Aviant\u2019s drones will be able to deliver goods faster and more sustainably, while reaching remote and inaccessible areas where traditional methods of delivery might be unavailable or infrequent. They will cover a radius of 17km over Lillehammer \u2014 making it the largest area in Europe (and the globe) to have such a service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are living in a world where people want things fast, at a competitive price, and using sustainable methods,\u201d Lars Erik Fagern\u00e6s, Aviant\u2019s co-founder and CEO, told TNW. He emphasised, however, that this hand\u2019t been possible for people living in hard-to-reach locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cNorway has challenging weather conditions, and those living in rural areas risk being deprived \u2014 due to distance or climate \u2014 of the essential items which urbanites take for granted,\u201d Fagern\u00e6s noted, adding that the startup\u2019s drones aim to bridge the accessibility gap both in the country and across the world.<\/p>\n
