Workhorse, an American technology company focused on providing sustainable and cost-effective electric vehicles to the last mile delivery sector, has joined the Small UAV Coalition as an Associate member.

The Small UAV Coalition is a partnership whose Board members include Amazon Air, Wing, Intel, PrecisionHawk, and Verizon and other leading consumer and technology companies who believe that U.S. leadership in the research, development, production, and application of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) will benefit consumers in all walks of life. According to a Department of Transportation economic report regarding unmanned aerial systems, there are hundreds of potential use cases for the technology. As a group, the Small UAV Coalition supports and advocates for a range of law and policy changes that will not only embrace, but encourage, the growth of the UAV industry.

Workhorse CEO Duane Hughes stated, “As a member of the Small UAV Coalition, it is our honor and privilege to work side by side with our country’s leading technology companies. The Small UAV Coalition’s leadership in the research, development, production and application of unmanned aerial systems offers true insight into our future.”
