EHang Already Sold Over 100 EH216 AAVs This Year

On the back of a Guang­dong “Provin­cial Devel­op­ment Con­fer­ence” held on Jan­u­ary 28th in Guangzhou, to cre­ate a blue­print for the advance­ment of its econ­o­my, Guang­dong TV talked to var­i­ous senior man­age­ment rep­re­sent­ing the enter­pris­es involved, reports eastwestconn.com.

EHang was one of the com­pa­nies fea­tured in this TV spe­cial, where He Tianx­ing, Vice Pres­i­dent of EHang was inter­viewed. Dur­ing the inter­view he com­ment­ed on the EH216, “Our cur­rent orders and pre-orders are more than 100 units this year. It is already not a small mag­ni­tude.”

This is espe­cial­ly good news for EHang share­hold­ers. Please watch the full 5 minute inter­view with an accom­pa­ny­ing EHang video below.

Mean­while, on Feb­ru­ary 2nd, the Jiu­jiang Munic­i­pal Gov­ern­ment and EHang signed a strate­gic part­ner­ship agree­ment in Gongqingcheng, Jiangxi province. Bao Chenggeng, Deputy May­or of the munic­i­pal gov­ern­ment, and Fang Xin, EHang’s Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer, joint­ly wit­nessed the sign­ing.

Chenggeng com­ment­ed, “Jiu­jiang is cur­rent­ly con­cen­trat­ing on pro­mot­ing high-qual­i­ty devel­op­ment, where our two par­ties have great poten­tial for expand­ing this co-oper­a­tion.”

The Deputy May­or aims to use the part­ner­ship as “an oppor­tu­ni­ty to pro­mote the imple­men­ta­tion of com­mer­cial oper­a­tion sce­nar­ios for the appli­ca­tion of intel­li­gent air­craft and autonomous logis­tics.” EHang plans to use Jiu­jiang as a key strate­gic devel­op­ment area, by offer­ing an exten­sive range of solu­tions and assist in mod­ernising the city.

Shu Ruipeng, Deputy Sec­re­tary-Gen­er­al of the munic­i­pal gov­ern­ment, and Qiu Xi, Gen­er­al Man­ag­er of EHang Jiangxi Branch, signed the agree­ment on behalf of the two par­ties.

Accord­ing to this agree­ment, the two par­ties will joint­ly pro­mote in-depth oper­a­tional co-oper­a­tion of EHang’s craft, “In the fields of smart city man­age­ment com­mand and dis­patch cen­tre; urban tourism; fire emer­gency; med­ical res­cue; eco­log­i­cal envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion; and mod­ern logis­tics, as well as build an urban ecosys­tem and pub­lic ser­vice sys­tem for manned autonomous flight.”

Final­ly, an EH216 AAV made a guest appear­ance at one of Guangzhou’s four “Hap­py Farms” in Huang­pu Dis­trict two weeks ago fly­ing over­head and thrilling the crowd.

While the actu­al term “Hap­py Farm” is the name giv­en to a pop­u­lar Chi­nese social net­work­ing game, the Chi­nese to Eng­lish trans­la­tion refers to the sim­i­lar open farms found all over the UK aimed at chil­dren and fam­i­lies to come along and see farm ani­mals close up, and to even stroke and feed them. For exam­ple, in the Lon­don area alone there are 57 such out­lets.
