The company said the delivery is the first of its kind in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The drone delivery was conducted by Wing Aviation, in collaboration with FedEx Express, as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Pilot Program (IPP). This delivery of a FedEx Express package marks the launch of the first scheduled, commercial residential drone delivery service and the first scheduled e-commerce delivery via drone delivery trial in the United States, according to FedEx.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For the duration of the trial, FedEx said, Wing drones will transport select FedEx packages to qualifying homes in Christiansburg, demonstrating the benefits of drone delivery for last-mile delivery service. Wing has received the first authorization from the FAA to conduct scheduled, commercial drone package delivery to residences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cInnovation has been part of the FedEx DNA since day one, and we are always looking for new and better ways to deliver the world to our customers\u2019 doorsteps,\u201d said Don Colleran, president and CEO of FedEx Express, in a press release. \u201cFor our customers in Christiansburg, this collaboration will test the latest innovation in the last mile of a residential package delivery. We hope that this latest addition to our delivery options will enhance the last-mile service for urgent same-day deliveries, customers in rural or semi-rural areas, and other exceptional delivery needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Customers of FedEx who live within designated delivery zones in Christiansburg, Virginia, and opt in to the Wing delivery service, will be able to receive eligible packages via drone during the trial program, provided certain operating conditions are met. Wing\u2019s pilot program also includes a collaboration with Walgreens, allowing program participants to order health and wellness products through Wing\u2019s delivery app.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">FLEET MANAGEMENT AUDIT<\/h3>\n<p>Fleet management is the use of a set of vehicles in order to provide services to a third-party, or to perform a task for our organization, in the most efficient and productive manner with a determined level of service and cost.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet management activities are shown in the following graph 1:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1106 size-full\" title=\"fleet management activities\" src=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en.jpg\" alt=\"fleet management activities\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/grafico-AFMC-en-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Graph 1: fleet management activities<\/p>\n<p>The proposal audit analyses and assesses all fleet management activities shown in the graph 1, and its main goals are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the overall status of the fleet management activities<\/li>\n<li>Provide the analysis, the assessment, the advice, the suggestions and the actions to take in order to cut costs and increase the efficiency and efficacy of the fleet management\u00a0 activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the information obtained, we\u2019ll elaborate a report that holds the overall status of the fleet management as well as the suggestions, recommendations and the measures to take in order to cut costs and optimize the fleet management activities.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE PROPOSED FLEET MANAGEMENT AUDIT:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Fleet-Management-Audit-AFMC.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fleet Management Audit AFMC<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Contact:<\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Miguel Fern\u00e1ndez G\u00f3mez<\/p>\n<p>34 678254874<\/p>\n<p>info@advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1680\" src=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/JMF-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"JMF\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/JMF-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/JMF-350x350.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>I\u00b4m\u00a0a Fleet Management expert, and the manager of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Advanced Fleet Management Consulting<\/a><\/strong>, that provides Fleet Management Consultancy Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FedEx Claims First-Ever Residential Drone Delivery in U.S. Amazon may have started it, but the race to put the first viable package delivery drones into regular operation seems to have evolved into a competition between FedEx and UPS.
