While the new economy relies more heavily on logistics, the model doesn’t work in rural areas. For instance, 1 million people in Scotland experience delivery surcharges - that accounted for £45M last year - or can’t access delivery at all: it’s 1/5 of the population! And the problem is global because traditional logistics require volume andpopulation density.IONA is a new kind of local logistics provider that mainly benefits rural areas. We are swapping inefficient delivery vans for highly efficient autonomous drones, levelling up the playing field between local players while cutting costs and CO2 emissions for everybody.
