The Joby team, consisting of over 1800 engineers and experts from various fields in the United States, received additional reinforcement in mid-2020: Joby Germany GmbH, located in Sauerlach near Munich, brings its engineering expertise to the development of our electric aircraft (eVTOL = electric vertical take-off and landing) on its path to series production, highlighting Joby Aviation's continued growth.
