Matternet and drone company Mercedes-Benz are to begin a three-week trial in Zurich testing their drone-van combination delivery system for Swiss e-tailer Siroop. Drones will deliver parcels to four rendezvous points, where vans will be waiting to deliver the goods. The trial will look at the time efficiency of the system as well as any cost savings.
