SkyDrive Inc., a leading manufacturer of flying cars in Japan, and Suzuki Motor Corp., one of Japan’s leading automakers, have announced a partnership for the commercialization of flying cars.

Under the terms of the agreement, SkyDrive and Suzuki will start consideration to collaborate in areas of business and technology that include technology R&D, planning of manufacturing and mass-production systems, development of overseas markets with an initial focus on India, and promotion of efforts to attain carbon neutrality.

SkyDrive is currently engaged in the development of a compact, two-seater electric-powered flying car with plans for full-scale production. It aims to begin air taxi service during the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan, as well as to initiate service in other regions of Japan.

Suzuki currently offers products in three mobility categories—automobiles, motorcycles, and outboard motors. The company aims to remain indispensable to people by staying closely attuned to their lives and providing mobility. The partnership with SkyDrive will provide Suzuki with opportunities to explore and potentially add flying cars as a fourth mobility business.
