EHang Holdings Limited today announced the expansion of its strategic partnership with Gotion High-Tech, a battery producer. “Under the upgraded partnership, the two companies will jointly advance the development of power systems for EHang’s EH216 series of pilotless eVTOL aircraft, with plans to extend their collaboration to future aircraft models.
“By leveraging cutting-edge battery technologies, the partnership aims to accelerate the advancement of a safe, intelligent, and sustainable low-altitude transportation ecosystem and contribute to the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy,” said EHang in a press release. “As part of the agreement, Gotion will deliver a customized battery solution tailored to the EH216 series. At the core of the solution is Gotion’s newly developed 46-series cylindrical battery cell, which offers high energy density and robust power output. The next-generation battery system is expected to significantly enhance the EH216 series aircraft in flight range, thrust performance, and operational safety — further improving the aircraft’s efficiency across a variety of use cases and strengthening its readiness for future scaled commercial deployment.
“Beyond the product – level improvements, the partnership marks a strategic step toward building an integrated eVTOL energy ecosystem. EHang and Gotion plan to broaden their cooperation across EHang’s future aircraft lineup, jointly advancing battery innovation aimed at delivering safer, more efficient, and cost-effective eVTOL solutions. These efforts will help accelerate the commercialization of UAM and low-altitude logistics networks. Gotion’s expertise in standardized, platform-based battery systems is expected to be a key enabler of EHang’s long-term competitiveness in the global market.”
