Electric aircraft developer EHang has chosen the Chinese city of Yunfu as the location for the main factory to build its Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs). The China-based group said the facility will have an initial capacity to build 600 eVTOL aircraft each year, but in a July 30 statement did not reveal when production will begin.

The local city government is to invest $6 million in the new factory, which is located in China’s Guangdong province. It is not clear on what terms this investment is being made, or how much EHang itself is contributing to construction costs.
