Authorities in Spain and Norway agreed to trial operations of the EHang 216, shown here in a 2018 demo flight in Amsterdam.

EHang this month expanded its eVTOL development plans in Europe, reaching an agreement with authorities in Spain and Norway for trial operations. However, the pace at which the activities will progress immediately was thrown into question by restrictions on travel and work in both countries, imposed to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.

On March 18, the Chinese company announced a strategic partnership with the Spanish city of Lliria to develop pilot operations for urban air mobility (UAM) services. Two days earlier, EHang announced a similar agreement with the city of Seville in southern Spain.
