About
EHang is the world's leading autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology platform company, listed on NASDAQ under the ticker EH. Founded with the mission to make safe, autonomous, and eco-friendly air mobility accessible to everyone, EHang designs, develops, and deploys AI-powered pilotless eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft for a range of commercial and industrial applications. The company's flagship products include the EH216-S (passenger transport), EH216-F (high-rise firefighting and emergency rescue), EH216-L (heavy-cargo logistics), and the VT-35 for extended-range aerial missions. These vehicles operate autonomously using advanced AI, computer vision, and real-time data systems to ensure safe, reliable flight without a human pilot on board. EHang serves multiple industries through tailored commercial solutions: urban air mobility for passenger transportation and last-mile logistics, smart city management integrating aerial surveillance and coordination, and aerial media for entertainment and broadcast. The company has achieved full airworthiness certifications — including Type Certificate, Production Certificate, and Standard Airworthiness Certificate — setting industry-leading safety standards. With a nationwide network of operational demonstration sites, vertiports, and logistics hubs across China, EHang is actively deploying its UAM (Urban Air Mobility) ecosystem at scale. It targets enterprise clients, government bodies, logistics operators, emergency services, and smart city developers seeking next-generation aerial infrastructure.
