Suzuki Motor has started to manufacture its first flying car which was showcased by Maruti Suzuki at its pavilion during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit held in January. The all-electric autonomous Skycar is being jointly developed with a Japan-based flying car startup called SkyDrive. The startup is using the Japanese auto giant’s facility in Iwata City. Suzuki and SkyDrive had inked a deal in October last year to collaborate on developing a flying car that can serve as air taxi in urban areas.
The flying car showcased in India earlier this year is a prototype version of the model that is currently being manufactured by Suzuki at its Japan facility. The Skycar can take off and land on the rooftops of buildings. It also comes with autonomous features. The production version of the flying car is expected to be showcased at an expo to be held in Japan’s Osaka in 2025. A groundbreaking ceremony was held earlier this month at the Suzuki plant in Japan before the production started.
