Amazon will make deliveries in Europe with drones in 2024

Amazon has just announced that in 2024 deliveries will be made with drones in the United Kingdom and Italy, in a first stage.

It is an idea that Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, was already considering in 2013. Now it seems that it will become a reality, according to the announcement, which also foresees a third country, the United States, at the end of next year.

As a background to this upcoming implementation, there is the use of drones for commercial deliveries from “the end of 2022 in the sparsely populated towns of Lockeford, California, and College Station in Texas, to deliver packages of up to 2.25 kilos and in less than an hour.”

For the premiere of Amazon Prime Air in Europe, the company will use a new drone, the MK30, which is lighter and smaller than the previous one, the MK27-2. Additionally, the new model is significantly quieter.

As indicated by Amazon, these models “can land in smaller patios (although the products are launched 10 meters without touching the ground), and can fly in light rain and sudden winds, essential so that customers can choose the delivery wisely. drones more frequently.”

Takeoff and landing with these drones are vertical and are equipped with sensors to avoid collisions with planes, people, and pets.

Two additional Amazon innovations worth mentioning are the implementation of a humanoid robot that can move around while picking up packages and a new packaging machine that records product dimensions to create a custom paper bag.
