Envirotech Secures 80-Drone Deposits, Rapidly Expanding Drone Business
EVTV expands globally as Italy's Studio Baffetti joins U.S. partner Venture Air Solutions in record-breaking deposits amid new European drone regulations
HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc.

(Opa-Locka, Florida) - marking the next major step in EVTV's evolution from U.S. electric vehicle innovator to a dual‑industry leader on the global stage.

EVTV's heavy capacity aircraft are now positioned to enter this newly opened market for the first time. EVTV's manufacturing and deployment programs are compliant with Federal Aviation Administration Stage I and European Union Aviation Safety Agency/ENAC regulations for heavy capacity unmanned aircraft systems.
Global Partnerships Driving Adoption
Studio Baffetti - Led by Francesco Baffetti, Managing Partner, the company placed deposits for 40 heavy capacity drones as part of a strategic European expansion under Italy's updated ENAC drone regulations. "With Italy and Europe moving to recognize and regulate drone-enabled precision agriculture - including targeted crop protection - our partnership with EVTV positions us at the forefront of a transformational moment. EVTV's heavy capacity aircraft meet the new European standards for power, payload, and precision, and that's why we're investing heavily now," said Francesco Baffetti, Managing Partner, Studio Baffetti.
Venture Air Solutions Inc. - Led by Jonathan Jackson, CEO, the company placed deposits for 40 heavy capacity drones to expand aerial infrastructure, inspection, and regional cargo operations. "EVTV's heavy capacity drones are a game changer for our industry, and we expect to incorporate this force multiplier into our daily logistics protocols immediately," commented Jonathan Jackson.
Strategic Significance
"This moment connects global manufacturing, technology, and regulation," said Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of EVTV. "Studio Baffetti's entry into Italy and Europe coincides perfectly with the new European Union Aviation Safety Agency and ENAC frameworks, while Venture Air is leading adoption of heavy capacity drones here in America. Together, these commitments validate EVTV as the world's first heavy capacity drone platform ready for both American and European deployment."
