“We are excited to expand our partnership with Wing in the US to integrate drone delivery into DoorDash’s ecosystem,” says Harrison Shih, Senior Director at DoorDash Labs, DoorDash’s robotics and automation arm.
“We are committed to advancing last mile logistics by building a multi-modal delivery platform that serves all sides of our marketplace. We’re optimistic about the value drone delivery will bring to our platform as we work to offer more efficient, sustainable, and convenient delivery options for consumers.”
“Expanding our partnership with DoorDash and launching in the US is a direct result of the success we’ve seen from our initial collaboration in Australia, where Wing has served tens of thousands of customers via the DoorDash app for over a year now,” says Cosimo Leipold, Head of Partnerships at Wing.
“Wing has now made over 350,000 deliveries across three countries and looking ahead we are focused on providing a fast, affordable and safe service to our partners so they can better serve their customers.”
“This moment continues our meaningful expansion of this service in the US and advances our shared goal to better the last mile delivery ecosystem.”
