The five-seater air taxis, with an operating range of up to 600 kilometers, will facilitate travel between major cities like Delhi-NCR and Lucknow, offering a sustainable solution to India's congested roads and polluted urban environments. This partnership aims to tackle climate change by reducing carbon emissions in the transportation and aviation sectors.
Vjaitra Air Mobility, a division of Darsh Dronobotics Systems, is supporting India’s goal to achieve net zero emissions and lead the air taxi revolution by 2025. To bring this vision to life, they are partnering with Canada-based Trouve Innovation Hub, which will help secure funding for a full-scale prototype of the hydrogen-powered air taxi. This collaboration is about more than just creating a new mode of transport; it’s about building a sustainable future where urban air mobility is both efficient and environmentally friendly.
Ratandeep Tripathi, CEO of Vjaitra Air Mobility, emphasized the importance of this partnership, noting that Trouve’s expertise in fundraising and innovation will be essential to making their hydrogen air taxi a reality. Faruk Rama, CEO of Trouve Innovation Hub, expressed confidence in the partnership's ability to advance eco-friendly transportation technologies, benefiting cities and communities worldwide.
In addition to passenger travel, these air taxis will also play a crucial role in emergency services, such as ambulance operations and disaster recovery. This partnership represents a significant leap toward a cleaner and more connected future.
