admin Beginning from this year, Bolt, a food delivery startup has partnered with starship technologies a robotics startup, to launch thousands of delivery robots across multiple countries.
Starship is known as the first startup to reach 5 million commercial deliveries worldwide, and coinciding with this, the announcement for partnership was made. Starship will gain access to Bolt’s 100 million customers across 45 countries and provide a wider range of delivery services across different distances and order sizes under this new partnership.
Using Bolt’s electric, zero-emission robots as a viable and widespread alternative to traditional delivery methods, the partners, Bolt and starship have decided to pursue sustainable operations through this partnership.
“Both Bolt and Starship have created innovative products which have revolutionized the way people move around and buy and receive goods in cities,” said Jevgeni Kabanov, Bolt’s President.
“Bolt and Starship share very similar goals of promoting sustainability in local transport,” Alastair Westgarth, Starship Technologies’ CEO. “In our case, we offer a convenient and on-demand autonomous delivery service, perfectly aligning with the mission of making cities more eco-friendly.”
The new launch is set to begin in Tallinn, Estonia as a pilot program, with the possibility of expansion if the project is successful.
