Eve Air Mobility Partners with DHL on eVTOL Supply Chain Services

It may sound like DHL plans to deploy Eve’s aircraft, but the agreement will actually see the former support the latter’s operations.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eve Air Mobility is partnering with DHL Supply Chain to design and optimize its own global supply chain for eVTOL support services, rather than DHL using Eve's aircraft for cargo.
  • The collaboration leverages DHL's extensive logistics expertise to manage the distribution of critical components like lithium-ion batteries, spare parts, and supplies, and the disposal of used materials.
  • This strategic partnership aims to build a robust, agile, and environmentally responsible supply chain to support Eve's global operations and large backlog of eVTOL orders, with a target entry into service in 2026.

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of Embraer, is partnering with warehousing and distribution giant DHL Supply Chain. But while the logistics titan boasts a robust air cargo network, Eve’s aircraft will not be part of it.

Rather, Eve will leverage DHL’s expertise to revamp its own supply chain as part of an agreement to design a concept for “eVTOL support” services. The two signed a memorandum of understanding to study the demands and supply chain characteristics of Eve’s operations, including the delivery of batteries, spare parts, and supplies, and the disposal of used materials.
