Through a Memorandum of Understanding, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, a manufacturer of electrical and digital technologies and solutions, and Eve Air Mobility, an aerospace manufacturer and service and solutions provider for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), are teaming up to evaluate the electrical infrastructure and energy management services needed to support safe, efficient and scalable eVTOL operations. Together, the two companies will collaborate on evaluating the energy service needs for eVTOL aircraft and the demand for these services across the United States as the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry grows.
The AAM industry is rapidly taking shape around the world and now stands on the cusp of commercialization. Integrating AAM into the existing transportation ecosystem offers an additional zero-emission option for urban mobility, reduces travel time, and accelerates decarbonization efforts.
The energy services Siemens and Eve are exploring will support the electrical infrastructure and provide fleet operators with the confidence to launch and scale AAM operations. These models would ultimately help minimize upfront capital impacts, thereby accelerating the transition to AAM while overcoming potential obstacles to entry.
