Bangkok, March 23, 2026 — Taking a major step toward transforming Thailand’s logistics landscape, Research & Innovation Center of True Corporation today announced a strategic partnership with Antwork, a global leader in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) logistics solutions. The collaboration reflects True Innovation Center’s mission to transform advanced technologies into real-world solutions that benefit society while strengthening Thailand’s position as a regional hub for digital innovation and smart infrastructure.

As urban congestion, rising delivery demand, and environmental challenges place increasing pressure on traditional logistics systems, the partnership introduces a next-generation drone logistics platform powered by Physical AI. The technology enables drones to sense, navigate, and respond to real-world environments in real time, offering a faster and more efficient delivery model. Leveraging Antwork’s operational experience across nearly 60 cities in China, the solution will be adapted to Thailand’s urban environment, weather conditions, and aviation regulations to ensure safe and scalable deployment.

Beyond improving logistics efficiency, the initiative supports sustainable development and green logistics. Drone-based delivery can help reduce road congestion and lower carbon emissions associated with traditional transportation, enabling organizations to strengthen carbon management efforts and advance their environmental and sustainability commitments while supporting Thailand’s broader green economy goals.

The first phase will focus on healthcare logistics, where speed and reliability can directly impact patient outcomes. The drone network will enable rapid transport of blood samples, laboratory results, and critical medical supplies between hospitals and laboratories, improving response time and supporting more efficient medical services.

The program will later expand into business-to-business logistics, helping companies strengthen supply chains and build smarter distribution networks. Drone logistics can support faster product movement between warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and retail outlets, improving efficiency, lowering operational costs, and strengthening supply chain resilience.

Mr. Ekaraj Panjavinin, Head of Research & Innovation, True Corporation Plc., said “the collaboration reflects our Research & Innovation Center’s commitment to delivering innovation that creates real impact for Thailand. Research & Innovation Center of True Corporation is committed to transforming ideas into solutions that improve the way people live and work. Our partnership with Antwork represents an important step in exploring how advanced drone technology can reshape logistics infrastructure in Thailand. By combining global expertise with local innovation capabilities, we aim to develop smart logistics models that complement existing transportation systems while. reducing environmental impact and strengthening Thailand’s competitiveness in the digital economy.”

Dr. Zhang Lei, Co-founder and CEO of Antwork, said “We are excited to partner with Research & Innovation, True Corporation to introduce our UAV logistics technology to Thailand. By combining our operational experience with the Center’s innovation ecosystem, we believe this collaboration will accelerate the development of smarter logistics solutions that are faster, cleaner, and more reliable.”

The partnership reflects True Research & Innovation Center’s vision of building an innovation ecosystem that brings together global technology leaders, local partners, and next-generation engineers to drive meaningful progress for Thailand. By integrating robotics, artificial intelligence, and sustainable logistics technologies, the initiative lays the foundation for a new generation of smart logistics infrastructure supporting healthcare, industry, and future smart city development.
