FedEx is getting ready to boost its overall supply chain efficiency by partnering with Elroy Air, a company that is building the world’s first autonomous, aerial cargo system. FedEx is planning on using the Chaparral C1, which was unveiled in January of this year, to move shipments between its cargo facilities, thereby expediting the delivery process.
The explosion of e-commerce in recent years has been a primary motivation for the move, as more and more consumers around the country are relying on online shopping and, thus, quick deliveries to their homes.
