Meant for medical transports, enter the drones of Save + H2C
This initiative addresses the rapid transfers of healthcare goods and biological substances from hospitals and laboratories, using hydrogen-powered drones. The main goal of the project is to ensure fast and efficient deliveries by leveraging drone technology to transport urgent healthcare products. This type of transportation certainly reduces delivery time, which is critical for medical support.
“Sandbox” is the result of an agreement signed in May 2024 between Enac, the Veneto Region, Save Group, supported by H2C, a company specializing in energy infrastructure, and Heron Air, the management company of Padua airport. The project is ideally based at a strategic hub for advanced air mobility precisely because of its proximity to major international medical care centers; LIPU is already home to the 118 helicopter rescue service. The goal is to meet the growing demand for urgent transport of medical supplies and biological substances, improving efficiency and speed of deliveries.
developed by H2C, the Key Energy Builder exploits the energy produced by solar panels
The hydrones used in the “Sandbox” project offer significant advantages both in environmental and operational terms. Each drone can carry up to 5 kg of material, covering distances as far as 100 kilometers, at a maximum speed of 55 km/h. Furthermore, refueling takes only two minutes and each fully loaded flight consumes only 340 grams of green hydrogen: one fuel that is environmentally friendly indeed!
