The goal of the project is to expand the functionality and efficiency of today\u2019s drone systems and enable the drone to navigate to geographic destinations independently while taking its surroundings into account.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this end, the entire system will be equipped with innovative mission control, integrated energy management, and specially developed propulsion systems. Additive Drives is responsible for developing a high-performance drone motor as part of the project.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is funded by the European Union and co-financed by tax revenues based on the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-1024x269.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6531\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3.8072079895788105;width:252px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-1024x269.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-768x202.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-1536x404.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kofinanziert_von_der_EU-2048x539.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Plakat-CargoDrohne.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Plakat CargoDrohne.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9557e336-57be-4b03-8d87-cb2f63a3dab7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Plakat-CargoDrohne.pdf\">Cargo Drone Poster<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Plakat-CargoDrohne.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9557e336-57be-4b03-8d87-cb2f63a3dab7\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Additive Drives is developing a high-performance electric drive system for the SmartCargoDrone research project, designed for the autonomous transport of cargo by drone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6505,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,1,51],"tags":[77,74,71,70],"class_list":["post-6549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-unkategorisiert","category-updates-en","tag-cargo-drones","tag-electric-drives","tag-eu-funding","tag-of-electric-motors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.additive-drives.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
