For residents of the Michelstadt districts served by the LieferMichel pilot project, the year begins with two pieces of good news: They can continue to have small errands delivered conveniently and CO2-neutrally by drone and cargo bike. In addition, the range is being expanded to include non-prescription medication. The extension of the project until the end of March makes it possible to pursue the main project goals over a longer period of time. These goals include the implementation of safe drone flight operations in unrestricted airspace, even during the winter months, and the analysis of demand for delivery services in rural areas. With the Bären-Apotheke from Erbach, a product category that many residents have explicitly requested is now being added. The pharmacy is integrated into the LieferMichel platform and offers a selection of non-prescription medication. In addition, users have been able to choose from a large range of goods from the local REWE center since the start of the project. In addition, the Odenwaldbox, a provider of regional products, and SV Darmstadt 98 with a selection of fan articles have joined the platform over the course of the project. "We are always looking for ways and means to offer our customers an even better shopping experience and to improve local care options. Here in rural areas, the long distances often make it difficult for sick people to get their medication quickly. We are therefore very happy to be gaining initial experience with drone-based deliveries as part of the LieferMichel project," comments Frank Buffleb, pharmacist and owner of the Bären-Apotheke in Erbach.
