IDEX: Heven helping to deliver drone solutions

The Israeli company manufactures multipurpose drones, helping to solve issues ranging from autonomous last-mile delivery, emergency response, and infrastructure repair.

It’s latest drone, on display at IDEX, is the H2D55 – the first in a planned line-up of hydrogen-fuelled aircraft.

“Make way for the hydrogeneration,” said Levinson. “The H2D55 is made to address lithium battery-powered drones’ flight endurance and capacity limitations, in addition to the long-term environmental impact of lithium mining. Without needing to regularly replace batteries, hydrogen fuel cells will also lower long-term ownership costs.”

The forthcoming models in the product line will be released over the next nine-months, and Levinson said they will improve upon the H2D55’s payload capacity of 7kg, while maintaining a flight endurance of more than two hours.  

“We are producing one that will be able to carry 30kg,” he said.

“We are constantly pushing the limits of speed, endurance and flight time,” said Levinson.

“Our cutting-edge hydrogen drone represents next-generation technology, providing a solution that is light, safe, clean and efficient, and endlessly versatile.”

Heven Drones are created in-house at its state-of-the-art 20,000sqft production facility in the north of Israel. 

“With four production lines and skilled manufacturers, we can create up to 200 fully customisable drones per month at current capacity,” said Levinson.
