talabat, Qatar’s leading food delivery and q-commerce platform, has partnered with Airlift, a Qatari autonomous systems start-up, to showcase the future of smart mobility through autonomous food delivery vehicles in the Msheireb District from October, 2021.
The continued partnership, which is the first of its kind in Qatar, brings together autonomous technology, sustainability and efficiency to disrupt current logistics models and norms, and is an excellent example of the strength of Qatar’s burgeoning tech ecosystem.
Airlift’s autonomous vehicles are energy efficient and equipped with a full sensor suite that enables them to navigate by themselves. They are backed up by remote safety operators for continuous monitoring to ensure optimal safety standards for all road users.
Francisco Miguel De Sousa, managing director of talabat Qatar, said: "We are humbled to support the future of mobility in Qatar. As the leader in food delivery and q-commerce in Qatar, we are passionate about supporting Qatari start-ups and entrepreneurs reach their visions to enable growth for Qatar. "Airlift is a shining example of QSTP’s incubator programme and the transformational value that Qatar Foundation continues to provide in enhancing the lives of Qatari citizens and residents every day.”
He added, "Regionally, as talabat, we are working on different mobility projects and we are proud that with Airlift, we are bringing to life delivery robots that are safe, secure and that offer a seamless digital experience. We would like to thank our partners, Airlift and Msheireb district, for sharing these values with talabat and for helping us make it happen.”
Ahmed Mohamedali, CEO of Airlift Systems, said: "We’re thrilled to extend our collaboration with talabat and run an automated delivery service in a public environment for the first time in Qatar. This is an important step towards our vision of making mobility safer and more convenient for people living in urban areas. We are thankful for the trust and drive to support innovation by Msheireb Properties and the Ministry of Interior’s Traffic Department.”
talabat Qatar and Airlift previously tested its autonomous delivery partnership on Qatar Foundation’s Education City campus, a closed environment, with a partnership that made Qatar the first MENA country with a fully autonomous traffic delivery car.
Customers in Msheireb Properties can now benefit from these autonomous delivery cars by ordering through talabat.
