Japanese Tech Giant Unveils Revolutionary Urban Air Mobility Deal With Norwegian Partner
Terra Drone Corporation, a pioneering drone and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) technology company headquartered in Japan, has announced its groundbreaking distribution agreement with UAS VOSS AS, a renowned provider of world-class industrial drone solutions in Norway. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in the expansion of Terra Drone’s product offerings across Scandinavia.
The collaboration between Terra Drone and UAS VOSS will bring the highly advanced “Terra Xross 1” indoor inspection drone to a wider audience, addressing the pressing need for efficient and cost-effective maintenance solutions in critical infrastructure such as power plants and transmission & distribution assets. By offering the “Terra Xross 1” at approximately one-third the price of competing products, Terra Drone has made it an attractive option for industries seeking to upgrade their equipment inspection practices.
For years, drone inspections have been recognized as an effective way to enhance worker safety while improving efficiency and reducing costs associated with traditional inspection methods. Terra Drone’s innovative approach has resulted in a stable indoor flight performance that has set new standards for the industry.
Norway is a prime example of a country where the need for advanced maintenance solutions is paramount. The nation’s reliance on hydropower accounts for around 90% of electricity generation, creating immense demand for regular inspections and maintenance across critical infrastructure. Furthermore, the oil and natural gas industry remains a significant sector in Norway’s economy, accounting for approximately 60% of the country’s total exports in 2024. As such, there is an acute need to upgrade equipment inspection practices that support safety and quality – particularly in environments where on-site access poses higher risks to workers.
The “Terra Xross 1” indoor inspection drone presents a game-changing solution for industries operating in Norway’s power and offshore sectors. By equipping them with cutting-edge technology, Terra Drone aims to enhance worker safety while reducing costs associated with traditional inspection methods.

With a customer base that includes prominent players such as Sygnir, Hydro, Eviny, and Tendranett, UAS VOSS has demonstrated its expertise in the energy sector through large-scale mapping and infrastructure inspection projects.
In 2025, UAS VOSS was recognized for its technical excellence by being awarded “Best Specialty Drone Operator 2025 – Norway” at the Scandinavian Business Awards hosted by EU Business News. This prestigious award further solidifies the company’s reputation as a leader in industrial drone solutions.
Looking forward, Terra Drone and UAS VOSS are poised to expand the reach of the “Terra Xross 1” across Scandinavia, leveraging their combined expertise to provide enhanced customer support. The partnership aims to make drone technology more accessible to industries that have historically been hesitant to adopt it due to concerns over unstable flight performance and high price points.
