EHang wins order for 50 of EH216-S models

EHang announced it has received a purchase order for 50 units of its EH216-S pilotless electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft from Guizhou Scenic Tourism Development Co., Ltd. ( “Guizhou Scenic”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guizhou Tourism Group. These aircraft are planned to be deployed in scenic areas operated by Guizhou Tourism Group to offer low-altitude aerial tourism and sightseeing services and explore low-altitude tourism application scenarios. EHang has also reached a cooperation agreement with the Management Committee of the Economic and Technological Development Zone of Anshun City in Guizhou province, aiming to jointly create a flagship model of technology-enabled cultural tourism in Guizhou province and contribute to the high-quality development of Guizhou province’s low-altitude economy. With its diverse landscapes and abundant tourism resources, Guizhou province offers an ideal environment for pilotless eVTOL applications. In 2025, the Guizhou Provincial Government’s Work Report highlights the development of the low-altitude economy and aims to establish various low-altitude tourism, logistics and emergency scenarios in its Three-Year Action Plan for the High-Quality Development of the Low-Altitude Economy (2025–2027) (draft for public consultation). Anshun city stands out in Guizhou province with its solid foundation for low-altitude industry development, featuring a well-established aerospace supply chain, robust infrastructure, and comprehensive supporting policies. Guizhou places strong emphasis on and actively supports the growth of Anshun’s aviation and low-altitude sectors. EHang’s cooperation with Anshun city and Guizhou Tourism Group will further, based on practical needs, expand and implement diverse low-altitude application scenarios, attract high-end talents and cutting-edge technologies, and plan to promote practical collaborations in areas such as aircraft R&D, component manufacturing, testing, and trial operations. These joint efforts aim to drive the local low-altitude industry toward a more advanced, intelligent, and sustainable future, and contribute to the creation of a globally competitive industrial cluster. Guizhou Tourism Group serves as Guizhou province’s core tourism operator and an integrated service provider for all-for-one tourism. Guizhou Scenic focuses on supporting Guizhou province’s vision of becoming a world-class travel destination and promoting high-quality development of the tourism industry. It manages several renowned scenic areas in Guizhou, such as the Jiabang Rice Terraces in Congjiang, Basha Miao Village, and Yunfeng Tunpu in Anshun. Changpeng Yang, Secretary of Anshun City, stated, “In recent years, China has accelerated the layout of the low-altitude economy as a strategic industry. The Guizhou provincial government have vigorously supported its high-quality growth, designating Anshun as a demonstration zone for the province’s low-altitude economy development. We hope Anshun and EHang will seize this strategic opportunity, deepen their collaboration, and work together to build a thriving low-altitude industrial cluster. By aligning our efforts and leveraging our respective strengths, we aim to integrate new productive forces with Guizhou’s natural beauty, unlock more application scenarios, create greater value, and establish a national benchmark for low-altitude economic development.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Kay Rolland at [email protected]
