Dutch flying car manufacturer PAL-V reports the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW), responsible for the approval and oversight of vehicles, has granted PAL-V its Initial Assessment, officially recognizing PAL-V as a certified automotive manufacturer. This approval enables PAL-V to produce type‑certified, road‑legal vehicles at its manufacturing facility in the Netherlands in accordance with European automotive standards, said the company in a press release. “The Initial Assessment confirms that PAL-V has adequately documented and implemented the measures, quality controls, and procedures under the European Conformity of Production (CoP) requirements. This approval is essential for any manufacturer aiming to produce road-legal vehicles, and a foundational requirement for PAL-V’s unique FlyDrive platform.”
PAL-V is pioneering a manufacturing approach that meets the stringent certification requirements of both the automotive and aviation industries combined. While the RDW focuses on the automotive side, it is also a crucial building block to obtain Production Organisation Approval for aviation.
“We are proud to pass this important milestone,” said Mike van den Broek, COO at PAL-V. “This achievement demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards in quality, safety, and production integrity. It brings us another step closer to delivering our FlyDrive vehicles to customers worldwide”
