 Embraer's Eve and EDP sign MOU for the development of eVTOL infrastructure




Embraer´s Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions (Eve) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Brazilian operation of EDP to collaborate on Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Both companies will cooperate on the research of operational models for charging infrastructure solutions needed for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to begin operations.

Some of the subjects covered in the collaborative research will be the evolution of battery technology and charging systems, management of charging points, and payment systems. Together, the companies will evaluate the development of a viable UAM energy infrastructure following the analysis results.

“Innovation is part of the EDP pillars and is a topic that gets our constant attention. We believe that a low-carbon future necessarily involves developing electric mobility, be it by land or air. That's why we signed this memorandum with Eve to study possible ways of participating and contributing to this visionary future of eVTOLs. Our business is ideally suited for this UAM future with our energy solutions and charging Infrastructure,” highlights Andrea Salinas, director of innovation and ventures at EDP, Brazil.
