For the fourth largest metro region in the U.S., things are about to get a lot more vertical. At the Consumer Electronics Show 2020, a panel of city mayors, infrastructure leaders and Bell’s very own vice president of Innovation, Scott Drennan, addressed global consumers about the ever-growing and changing Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. A region that supports seven million residents, 24 Fortune 500 companies, and the fourth busiest U.S. airport – which hosted 73 million travelers in 2019 – is inevitably bound for congestion and crowded roads. Through close collaboration with Hillwood, DFW city leadership, the DFW airport and more, Bell is determined to remove these roadblocks in our own backyard by taking to the skies instead.

Almost like a time machine – not the kind that involves a flying DeLorean – the Bell Nexus 4EX unlocks wasted time spent in traffic and returns it to the people, businesses or cities it serves. By working with Hillwood and DFW Airport to connect the vehicle to supporting infrastructure, city officials to meet regulations and our local residents to earn their trust, we’re ready to set a global example and make Dallas-Fort Worth the smart city of the future.
