EHang delivers EH216-S eVTOLs to Xishan Tourism

EHang announced that it has delivered the first batch of 10 units of EH216-S pilotless electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to Taiyuan Xishan Ecological Tourism Investment Construction. It also announced it has completed debut passenger-carrying flights of EH216-S in Taiyuan. EHang also showcased its VT-30 long-range pilotless passenger-carrying eVTOL, the EH216-F for firefighting use, and the EH216-L for logistics use, demonstrating EHang’s comprehensive eVTOL product portfolio and solutions for the low-altitude economy ecosystem. In May this year, Xishan Tourism and EHang signed a memorandum of understanding and a purchase order for 50 units of EH216-S, with a plan to acquire an additional 450 units over the next two years. The first batch of delivered EH216-S aircraft will be deployed for local low-altitude sightseeing and tourism services. Xishan Tourism is currently advancing the regular operation of EH216-S flights and plans to launch eVTOL low-altitude sightseeing routes at Yuquan Mountain, Paddy Field Park, and Juewei Mountain, among other locations in Taiyuan, to establish a series of trend-setting “low-altitude tourism” demonstration projects and contribute to the development of Shanxi Province’s low-altitude economy demonstration zone. Zhao Wang, Chief Operating Officer of EHang, said, “The Civil Aviation Administration of China has officially accepted our application for the EH216-S Air Operator Certificate (“AOC” or “OC”), which is a major breakthrough for the global eVTOL industry. At present, we have gradually delivered EH216-S by batches to Taiyuan, Hefei, Wuxi, Wencheng, Zhuhai, and other places, and are actively assisting our local partners who are creating application scenarios to obtain OC. As we delivered EH216-S and completed debut passenger-carrying flights in Taiyuan, we will work together with Xishan Tourism in establishing a benchmark for low-altitude economy in the region, gradually rolling out this innovative technology across North China and bringing a new aerial flight experience to more people, and making UAM accessible to the public.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Kay Rolland at [email protected]
