Starship Technologies, a specialist in autonomous delivery services, has announced a partnership with foodora, a Swedish quick commerce platform.
Starship’s fleet of fully electric delivery robots are now delivering foodora orders, starting in Stockholm. Initially, there will be a small fleet of 15 robots in the city, with more robots gradually rolling out to meet demand.
The robots will pick up orders from foodora market stores located on Högbergsgatan in Södermalm and Bangatan in Solna, with a range of up to 3km. Customers in these areas can order in the company’s app and have their items delivered within minutes.
“We see enormous potential for our autonomous delivery robots in Sweden. This collaboration with foodora makes it possible to offer fast and sustainable deliveries to Swedish consumers. We look forward to expanding and transforming how people have their food delivered,” said Ahti Heinla, Co-Founder and CEO at Starship Technologies.
“We are incredibly proud to be the first in Sweden to integrate autonomous deliveries into our service. Through our collaboration with Starship Technologies we can offer our customers an even smoother, faster, and more sustainable delivery experience. This is an important part of our vision to shape the future of deliveries and create a world-class service,” said Daniel Gustafsson Raba, COO at foodora Sweden.
“I am proud that foodora is the first to introduce robot deliveries in Sweden. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to innovation and enhancing last-mile logistics. Our collaboration with Tele2 and Starship has been crucial in making this a reality, and together, we are shaping the future of deliveries,” said Suseem Jain, Managing Director foodora Sweden.
Starship’s fleet of over 2,000 robots operates in more than 100 cities, towns, university campuses and industrial sites in Europe and the US, completing thousands of autonomous deliveries every day. The robots are small, lightweight and move mainly on sidewalks at walking speed.
