EHang Says Yunfu eVTOL Aircraft Manufacturing Plant Now Operational
EHang is building its two-seat, autonomous EH216 vehicle in a purpose-built factory at Yunfu in China's Guangdong province, where it will host an investors day event on August 18.
Chinese eVTOL aircraft manufacturer EHang this week confirmed it has been operating its new production facility in Yunfu since the end of June. The company is manufacturing its two-seat, fully autonomous EH216 model at the facility but has not confirmed the current production rate.
EHang is seeking type certification for the all-electric vehicle from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and has previously indicated that this may be granted by 2022. The 24,000-sq-m (258,000- sq-ft) site at Yunfu in Guangdong province includes components manufacturing and aircraft assembly capability, as well as a research and development facility and a training center.
