GLASGOW, BUDAPEST, SINGAPORE— Hy-Hybrid Energy (Hy-Hybrid), GOLDI Mobility Kft (GOLDI) and HES Energy Systems Pte Ltd (HES) have signed an MoU to explore strategic cooperation on hydrogen-powered drones for the Hungarian market.
The goal of this cooperation is to bring hydrogen-powered drone services to Hungary leveraging on all three parties’ capabilities. Activity will start with the commercialization of the US-made HYCOPTER drone from HES Energy Systems. The GOLDI team plans to deliver the first HYCOPTER in Hungary by Q1 2020 and is setting up engineering support & maintenance activities to make sure end customers are well trained and supported in the long run.
HYCOPTER is the world’s first commercial fuel cell-powered electric multirotor drone available on the market. It is able to fly for much longer than a conventional battery-powered drones, thus gathering more data and providing enhanced ISR (Inspection, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) capabilities to operators.
Located in the heart of the European Union with a population of 10 million, Hungary is an ideal candidate for the fast adoption of advanced robotics solutions. Drones and robots can be operated as augmented tools to support the engineering workforce during an industrial inspection, emergency response operations or for key assets and security. Hungary could soon become a leading innovation hub powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
