Marco's Pizza has tapped Magna, a global mobility tech company, to explore mobility solutions in last-mile food delivery in certain North American locations, according to a press release.

The two companies will test several delivery platform options, including autonomous and electric solutions, with Marco's franchisees.

"As one of the largest pizza brands, we invest in innovations that drive our franchisees' businesses forward while meeting the needs of today's modern customer," Rick Stanbridge, EVP and CIO for Marco's Pizza, said in the release. "Our strategic collaboration with Magna exemplifies this forward-thinking approach, and we plan to leverage their expertise to amplify our operations and elevate customer satisfaction."

Marco's and Magna will eventually kick off in-market pilot projects with participating franchisees.

"As we look at how people and goods will move in the future, we are continuously identifying new applications and technologies to match the needs of the expanded mobility landscape, the last-mile delivery market being one of them," Matteo Del Sorbo, EVP at Magna and Global Lead for Magna New Mobility, said in the release. "By collaborating with a company like Marco's, we want to not only create an exceptional experience for their franchisees and customers but continue to evolve our last-mile delivery offerings."
