VANCOUVER — Delta-Q Technologies (Delta-Q), a ZAPI GROUP company and supplier of battery charging solutions, and A&K Robotics (A&K), the autonomous micro mobility company, announced a strategic partnership to advance sustainable urban mobility initiatives across British Columbia.
The collaboration unites two Vancouver-based tech companies with a shared vision to deliver environmental technology and increase global electrification. A&K is set to deploy its self-driving robot pods across busy airports, metropolitan and highly populated transit areas over the next several years. The fully autonomous, compact pods feature 360° and 3-dimensional sensing systems designed to transform urban mobility and reduce environmental impact. Delta-Q, an early supporter of autonomous and electrification solutions, will provide chargers for A&K’s autonomous product strategy and global expansion plans.
“We are proud to partner with A&K Robotics to continue making electrification and automation solutions more accessible to communities and markets around the world,” said Sarah MacKinnon, CEO of Delta-Q Technologies. “By combining our expertise and leveraging the support of ZAPI GROUP, we aim to power the future of electrification, making urban mobility more sustainable and attainable. We are thrilled to be a part of shaping global, meaningful innovation with a fellow BC company.”
“We see great potential in the future of autonomous equipment and the micro-mobility market, and we know BC is a hub for innovation in this sector,” said Matthew Anderson, CEO and co-founder of A&K Robotics. “Our work advances critical environmental initiatives and improves experiences for individuals with reduced mobility. Collaborating with Delta-Q, a BC company that shares our values and vision, is exciting and a testament to the region’s innovation. The autonomous space is growing, and together we’re poised to drive economic and sustainability improvements for the region and communities worldwide.”
This partnership comes amid a growing global market for autonomous micro mobility platform solutions, driven by the need for efficient, environmentally conscious transportation options. A&K aims to meet this demand with reliable and eco-friendly urban transportation alternatives. The company says they will unveil fleets of autonomous pods with strategic hub airports in North America and Europe in 2024.
