According to Huazhi Hu, EHang’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: “The third quarter reflects our exceptional performance in multiple aspects. A pivotal milestone was the TC (type certification) for our groundbreaking EH216-S, the first of its kind in the unmanned eVTOL industry around the world. This certification evidences our adherence to CAAC’s stringent safety and airworthiness standards, and enables us to move toward commercial operations with confidence.”
“To support our commercial endeavors, we have forged strategic alliances with key entities such as the Bao’an District Government of Shenzhen and the Hefei Municipal Government. These partnerships are instrumental in establishing innovative projects like the UAM Operation Demonstration Center in Shenzhen and could facilitate potential supports with a target amount of USD100 million from the Hefei Municipal Government. These initiatives, combined with certifications and favorable policies, will position us to meet the increasing demands and orders for our trailblazing unmanned eVTOL products. As the first mover in the eVTOL industry, we will continue committing ourselves to delivering safe, autonomous, efficient, and eco-friendly UAM solutions and services.”
