Suzuki Factory to Produce SkyDrive Flying Cars

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — A Suzuki-owned factory in Iwata city, Shizuoka Prefecture, will be used to produce up to one hundred units of the SkyDrive eVTOL (flying car). Production is expected to begin next spring.

In this connection, SkyDrive created at the beginning of September a wholly-owned production subsidiary with Nobuo Kishi as its first president. This subsidiary has been named Sky Works Inc.

Suzuki Motor Corporation and SkyDrive first announced their alliance in March last year, and they have been steadily tightening their cooperation.

The two companies have been collaborating in areas such as research and development, planning manufacturing systems, and the exploration of overseas markets, with an initial focus on India.

SkyDrive revealed that it is paying particular attention to areas in India where tourists visit historical buildings alongside rivers or by the sea.

Well in advance of production, SkyDrive has already collected preorders for hundreds of its forthcoming eVTOL. The latest announcement came last month when it was revealed that Solyu Company, an Korean aircraft leasing firm, put in a preorder for up to fifty units of the SkyDrive eVTOLs.
