Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Tennessee-based sustainable transportation solutions company, PowerUp America.
Both companies will collaborate to electrify the infrastructure at airports, vertiports and other relevant electric mobility locations within the United States to create a sustainable, accessible regional transportation ecosystem.
Bob Johnson, Chief Commercial Officer, VI&E Solutions, said: “The US electric grid is over 100 years old; we must remember it was not built for efficiency. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with PowerUp America to complement strategies for a new standard for eVTOL charging in advanced air mobility. Our partnership will be where the future lands today.”
PowerUp America believes that sustainability and carbon neutrality are critical to building a brighter future. As such, they are committed to not only providing innovative and accessible EV charging infrastructure but doing so in a way that is responsible and considerate.
They strive to promote clean energy and enable electrification across all modes of transportation, from air to sea, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions and creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Josh Turner, CEO of PowerUp America, emphasized the significance of this partnership. He said: “Our partnership with VI&E Solutions is a groundbreaking initiative to develop an airport charging network throughout the region.
“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionise the transportation landscape by integrating sustainable energy solutions with our nation’s aviation infrastructure. Together we are committed to creating a robust network for freight and passenger transport, setting a new standard for airport connectivity.”
He added: “Our joint effort signifies more than just the expansion of charging infrastructure; it represents a shared vision for a greener, more connected future. We look forward to the innovation and opportunities this partnership will bring to our communities and the positive impact it will have on our environment.”
Founded in 2021, Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions is connecting communities with best-in-class eVTOL infrastructure technology to ensure society is ready for the future. VI&E Solutions offers three modular vertiport designs and charging stations for electric vehicles across all mediums: air, land and sea.
