Crisalion Mobility se asocia con Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions

VI&E Solutions y Crisalion Mobility se asocian para analizar y desarrollar proyectos de movilidad



Madrid, 22 de mayo de 2024 — Crisalion Mobility, compañía española de referencia en el diseño y desarrollo de soluciones de movilidad eléctrica avanzada eficiente, segura y sostenible, se asocia con Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions para desarrollar y analizar conjuntamente proyectos de movilidad aérea avanzada que incluyan el transporte de mercancías, los servicios médicos de emergencia, la movilidad aérea urbana, la movilidad aérea regional y el turismo.



Los equipos estudiarán los aspectos necesarios para el éxito y la eficacia de las operaciones de la eVTOL Integrity de Crisalion Mobility en los vertipuertos de VI&E Solutions para mejorar aún más la eficacia y la seguridad de las operaciones de movilidad aérea avanzada.



«Estamos encantados de trabajar con Crisalion para poder analizar y estudiar los puntos de encuentro entre su eVTOL Integrity y nuestros sistemas de vertipuertos y también para desarrollar estrategias con el fin de minimizar el impacto medioambiental y superar los estándares de sostenibilidad para reducir aún más nuestra huella medioambiental», señaló Grant Fisk, consejero delegado de VI&E Solutions.



«Estamos muy orgullosos de comenzar esta alianza en Estados Unidos con un socio clave en el mundo de los vertipuertos y las infraestructuras que nos acompañará en la implantación de nuestras soluciones eVTOL. La nueva movilidad representa un ecosistema en el que participarán muchos actores, y para nosotros es un privilegio trabajar con Volatus», indicó, por su parte, Óscar Lara, director de operaciones de Crisalion Mobility.
