eVTOL

Chery will launch its first eVTOL in October, becoming the latest player in the so-called low-altitude economy in China.

Xpeng Aeroht and Dongan signed a strategic cooperation agreement to create aviation-specific hybrid systems.

Xpeng Aeroht said its mass-production factory for flying cars is now 70 percent complete and is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter.

Ehang has received Air Operator Certificates for its EH216-S eVTOL, giving it regulatory green light for paid operations.

Ehang will launch a trial run of eVTOL sightseeing tours in Shanghai in preparation for its commercialization of air cabs in the city.

The AirJet, which has a range of over 200 km, is Govy's first product and GAC's second flying car.

In roughly two to three years' time, air traffic networks and ground flight service facilities in China's major cities will be largely completed, an industry body said.

Ehang aims to achieve certification and mass production use of solid-state batteries in the EH216-S eVTOL by the end of 2025.

This is the largest order to date in the global flying car space, with 12 customers from sectors including transportation, travel, real estate, and technology, Xpeng Aeroht said.

Xpeng Aeroht has signed pre-order contracts with two companies for 150 modular flying cars worth nearly RMB 300 million ($42.8 million).
