NowRX and the Hyundai Motor Group have announced a new partnership for last-mile medication delivery to help expand access to essential prescriptions. The partnership will see the pilot project launched later this year with two micro-fulfillment centers in the Los Angeles area as a part of it. The pilot project will include automated dispatch, fleet management and an array of additional last-mile optimization aspects which, in the future, will include autonomous vehicle technology testing.
CEO and Co-Founder of NowRX Cary Breese spoke on the partnership for last-mile medication delivery with the Hyundai Motor Group saying, "Autonomous vehicles are part of our long-term strategic vision for NowRx to further reduce delivery costs at scale. We can’t imagine a better company to work with than the Group, which has demonstrated substantial leadership in the autonomous vehicle, and other robotics and automation areas."
