GUANGZHOU, China - EHang Holdings Limited, a leading autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) technology platform company, recently announced that it established a strategic partnership with Llíria in Spain as its fourth urban air mobility (UAM) pilot city globally following Seville in Spain, Linz in Austria and Guangzhou in China.
As a technology pioneer and the first to market in the UAM industry, EHang will collaborate with the Llíria City Council to develop a 3D air mobility solution for smart cities and launch a pilot operation program of passenger-grade AAVs designed to explore different application scenarios including tourism. In addition, EHang and Llíria City Council will work together with the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency to establish relevant systems and standards to support this new transportation ecosystem.
Furthermore, EHang and the Llíria City Council expect to co-develop a modernized and integrated AAV command-and-control platform in Llíria for low-altitude airspace and air traffic management, which will integrate the government demands for AAVs in smart city management.
EHang also intends to improve logistics delivery efficiency through deploying AAVs and leveraging Llíria geographic advantages of its close proximity to Valencia, one of the important ports in Europe and its location surrounded by sea, islands and mountains.
